Good morning, new guy (but old) lurking for a year lol. Ok i want to take my 15 year old who loves hiking on a 4 day 3 nite or shorter with day hikes or really any combination there in. Last minute kinda. The window is april 15th to 20 th. Were in bozeman montana so to get some warmer temps was thinking utah? But i suppose we could go to another dessert state? Been wanting to float the green river through Moab but worried about river weather this early so iam not to familiar with canyon action so here are some wish list stuff . Would be nice to have water sources . Ie id rather not carry all the water. Be nice to be warner, just finished sub zero winter and if i cant be a little warner iam not into it lol. We have done 10-12 mile days togethet but less would be better. I love my kid but shes not an athlete and gets worn out. So ive seen arches stuff, bryce canyon stuff and escalante stuff. Id love to pack raft that some day but to much to soon for her. Ill have to caery most of our food and some of her gear but since iam a gear head ive been collecting ul stuff so i hope to be less way than 40lbs cause i want her to less than 20 . Could do camper/hikes but this kids going through a bad patch and id like to remind her of the beauty of the workd and introduce some real issokation for a bit of reflection lol. Ok done rambling. Any advice will be researched thanks!!
