Yep, I was thinking that with the recent snows April might be a tad early.
But dang it, I want to get some backpacking in sooner than later ;) We'll
have to see how it goes - maybe May would be a better balance between hot
and snow...

Anyone have any idea about getting to and from trailheads? If I were to
drive to Cabazon on I-10, is there any place to get/pay for a shuttle to
Warner Springs Ranch?
