And yes, Pjamm is where I found these rides.
Ive been up top of La Salle in late April and it was clear, we did Pikes Peak a week later by car. I guess it depends on the winter conditions.
If you can swing it, I recommend the climbs in the eastern Sierra and the White mountains to the east of highway 395. I think Terry has done more of them than I have but I've had some memorable rides up there.
One year we went was very dry and fishing was down so everyone was happy to see us. Here is lake Sabrina.We also stopped by South Lake and North Lake. Long day on the bike.

Also did Whitney Portal. This is the beginning of the canyon.

Also did Rock Creek road. One of the easier ones.
