Phoenix - Seattle; advice needed
I'm doing a trip to Mexico this month and then leaving my bike in storage in Apaxche Junction AZ. Rather than ship it home I'm considering flying back down around the first of May and riding it back. I'm tentatively looking at a route that'll take me north west until I hit San Francisco, at which point I'd like to follow the Pacific Coastal Highway all the way north to Port Angeles and then catch the ferry to Victoria. I've been playing with Google Maps, trying to find routes that will keep me on fairly good regional highways, but still avoiding the Interstates and I've come up with average daily mileages of approx 400 miles - which is around five days of riding. I could do longer days but there's no need. Looking at the map I'll be going by two National Parks, Death Valley and Yosemite, which brings me to my question; Is Yosemite accessible weather wise this time of year? What about the route in general? I can get home quicker by going due north but is snow a concerne in Utah and Idaho in early May?
Any advice greatly apreciated
Thx
Dale
