4-5 Day hikes in late May?

You could try the Superior Hiking Trail in Minnesota. http://www.shta.org

Trinity Alps – depends on year but I've gone there in late May and there wasn't too much snow Rogue River – a little hot by then – 40 miles Beach on the Olympic Peninsula – like from Rialto Beach to Ozette is 20 miles, but walking on the beach is more difficult than trail. You could walk a little further north and add 5 miles.

The Olympic coast beach hike is great. You can easily make it 50 starting at Ozette and hiking south to Oil City. Hiking on a beach may seem easy and some of it is, but there is lots of variety hiking over headlands, rock hopping, tide pooling and other fun stuff. A grand time with incredible vistas.

#ERROR!

I put some information in: http://www.oregonhikers.org/field_guide/Ozette_to_Rialto_Beach_Hike including link to a shuttle service http://www.goallpoints.com/ it's about 9 miles by road between Rialto Beach and Third Beach, 20 miles from Rialto Beach to Ozette, and maybe 15 miles from Third Beach to Oil City. I find "beach" walking to be more difficult than trail. When on sand, you sink into it. A lot of it is on slippery rocks.

King Range National Conservation Area, aka the Lost Coast in northern California Point Reyes National Seashore and adjacent parks in northern California I’ve been here, will go back. Santa Cruz mountains in central California. I’ve been here, will go back. Henry Coe State Park in central California I’ve been here, will go back. Home of many GGGs. Trans Catalina Trail, on Catalina Island in southern California. Pacific Crest Trail sections in southern California. Some sections will have less snow than others. Big Bend National Park in Texas on the Mexican border. See BPL trip reports for most of these areas. — Rex
