2008 Camp Swank

If we do Kings Canyon, that would be June or even July. It's a ghost town most of the year.

Regarding Yosemite, keep in mind that MANY people would not be able to even handle the Mist Trail. It's a strenuous hike (6 miles and 1000 ft elevation gain) and INCREDIBLY slippery - especially when the water is flowing. You also get soaking wet which is not comfortable in April. I've done it several times and I don't know if I could do the entire hike at this point in my life.

Sentinel Dome is also a difficult 6 miles that, again, not all people would be able to do (not to mention that the starting elevation is 7200 feet). Besides the fact that the Glacier Point road MAY still be closed in April. (I believe they opened early last year.)
