So, I've been challenged to find a trip that meets a myriad of conditions. My wife, bless her heart, wants to take me on a backpacking trip for my 50th in March (or maybe April). I'm thinking it would have to be in the southwest. I've spent many hours making lists of trips, but none in areas that are doable in spring. She has Reynauds, so cold won't work. We've gone on local summer overnights before. Among the "wants":
- the hotter the better, the more above freezing at night the better
- 5-8ish miles a day (basecamp is good, maybe better). No killer elevation
- 2 or 3 nights
- some solitude
- don't have to pack in water
- minimal bugs
