The weather is looking really nice ~ 70 degrees for the weekend but we likely change the trail itinerary since the latest info says the snow level is ~ 6k and the second trail…Piute Mt Rd. trial goes to 8k+. The going on snowy tails can be really slow, daylight time is short, so we would be better severed to go back to that one in drier conditions considering the distances.

Instead we could go to near by Last Chance Canyon first, then Opal Cyn and finally Jawbone Cyn part way on the last leg. These are all fun very scenic trails with mines and stuff to explore with some optional rock challenges for those that want them (bypasses and the high road is available for those that want to skip that). For reference all these trails are listed in the big Backcountry Adventures Southern California book by Massey & Wilson

Either way should be a blast don't forget to remove the stock step rails, mud flaps if needed and review the safety page:
