Dear npd1164, glad you posted this as it's a beautiful hike, although not sure a spring hike is best idea since many trails are closed typically at that time of year due spring runoff and trail conditions. Looking further south, you might consider Mt. Ascutney as winter hike, perhaps on a warmer day if cold is a deterrent. I like the mountain and views, and would be interested in a winter hike there.

Squaw has more than enough snow on the upper mountain to conduct operations thru Memorial Weekend. BTW, I both ski & ride. Alpine & Squaw are my home mountains where I teach. Mammoth is open til Memorial weekend, too so I'm also open to that option.
