I'm looking to run north towards/through the southern end of Sequoia: Last Chance Canyon, Jawbone, Piute Mountain, Dove Springs, Nightmare Gulch, and Burro Schmidt sort of running the area between Garlock and Isabella Lake in a three day two night run. We'd have access state freeway 14 to meet up halfway through to allow some to make the trip shorter if needed. The rub is the weather in that many of the trails are closed due to the snow pack on the western side up near Piute Mountain. By April or May the weather ought to be good.

I'm also looking for a similar long 3 day/2 night trip through Death Valley running from Independence north and then down south into the north end of Death Valley National.

Both these epic trips need to be done outside of summer, after winter, and between spring storms ... short notice and long weekends.

If we keep getting these cold Alaskan storms the roads are going to be closed due to snow until August!

Looks like an early heads up for a Rattlesnake Canyon Run:  http://www.sccxterra.com/smf/index.php/topic,927.0.html

My son and I just went up to the Mojave/Randsburg area, and it was COLD!
