Since it’s a scenic drive the temperature will not matter too much. To keep cost low I was planning on lodging being inland. The other thing I kept in consideration was the holidays, spring breaks, and school ending. Plus hopefully this will turn into a bigger event one day so trying to keep some distance between it and RFTH. April is too full of spring break people. So that leaves March and May. With May you get close to memorial weekend which begins the high season. Normally a week or two before memorial weekend. So we are left with end of March or beginning of May. March averages 70°F and May 84°F.
