Hi all.
I'm looking for suggestions for a trip at the end of May/beginning of June. Here is what the family is looking for:
A 60-80 loop (or mostly a loop) of any difficulty that will be mostly snow free with available water. No NPs as we have a dog.
Any suggestions in NM, AZ, CO, UT, or southern CA? Anywhere else in the intermountain West?

We were initially thinking about the Pecos Wilderness, but the big fire is obviously a concern.
How about the Gila?

I've picked up a few suggestions from other posts, but any advice would be great.

Thanks in advance.
