When I was a kid we did at least one trip in the Sierras in April. It wasn't the JMT, though, so probably not worth traveling all the way from back east for. I believe we hiked out from Courtright Reservoir. We got lost in the snow. Who knows where we ended up. I was a kid then and we had a lot of fun playing in the snow, sliding down on a cookie sheet. Why my mom brought a cookie sheet, I'll never know. For the rest of my childhood, pizza was served on a dented cookie sheet.
