Oleg & John, you two are the most knowledgeable on these trails so I'll leave it to you to decide what the best trail combination will be and based on that we can decide where to meet up on Friday morning.


There may be three different weather-related conditions:

1) DV may be still under snow by mid-Apr. Then we will go through very-low-elevation trails outside DV to the north-east (like Alabama hills etc). Then we are meeting in Big Pine.

2) Low-elevation DV will be free of snow but higher-elevation will be closed. Then we are going around Saline Valley, Warm Springs, Racetrack, etc. Then we are meeting in Big Pine, again.

3) The snow will melt away completely and the higher-elevation trails will be open. Then we can do Pleasant Canyon and Mengel Pass. Then we are meeting in Lone Pine.

I am suggesting to decide on the final logistics on Tuesday, Apr. 13th.

I think that John is the most qualified person to figure it out. May we ask John to make a call to DV rangers around Apr. 12th and extract the exact conditions information from them ?

A little snow on the trails is fine as long as the trails are passable.
