I am planning a 3-4 day backpacking trip for late Sep or Oct in California. Generally we like plan for a trip of 20-30 miles (7 or so miles/day). We have hiking experience in the desert SW (Grand Canyon, Escalante, Grand Gulch…) Any suggestions as this will be our first excursion to California area.
