As I said in my other thread, my wife and I decided to plan a mult-week trip in 2022 from Maine to California with multiple stops along the way including MOAB, Telluride (black bear pass), Yosemite and the Rubicon Trail (for starters). My next question involves timing.
The vast majority of my travel out West has been via air and the furthest I've been away from the cities is Muir woods (which was awesome). My original plan was to start our journey on Labor Day weekend 2022 but my daughter (lives in Bishop, CA) said no way would she plan the trip then because sleeping in a tent would be really hot, it's fire season and I would be risking areas being closed. So, back to the drawing board. Obviously with this much planning I want to avoid fires, road closures, landslides, flooding and massive crowds. Night time temps in the 50's-60's would be a bonus
Now I'm thinking last week in May into June but would love to hear what those of you who have 'been there, done that' think. Thanks in advance! BTW.. if any of you want to plan a trip to Maine, hit me up. My advice is always the same, find July 17th on calendar and plan your trip to include that date, it's typically our nicest week.
