Very well said..

Something in Arizona?

Already hitting the 90's, then into 100's by the weekend near GC, and in northern AZ near Paige, it will be 109 F by Sunday. Late June, but especially July and August it gets a little to toasty. Same goes for Utah.

Boating and water skiing? River rafting? No one says you have to backpack... nine days of vacation could be a couple different activities.

Or a couple short trips of the leisurely kind. From the melt pattern that one idea I had for hiking up the Kern River all the way to the hot spring and back might be the ticket.

I could head to Roads end/Copper Creek TH anyway and explore, walk up the river valleys as far as I can and fish. I have never been out in those conditions, might be good to at least experience it without taking any risks. I wouldn't get to do that itenerary but I could check out the area...

Not sure. I wish I had taken a week off later in year instead. I could also work.

New Mexico loop?

That looks pretty cool!

Hey Asolthane - I just posted about the loop I did... have fun on your trip whatever you do! We encountered a LOT of snow needless to say. If you have any questions then feel free.
