Be prepared for snow, as Spring doesn't get to the mountains until June or later.
This is another reason to hold off at least a few weeks. I tried to reach Silver Lake in May before but too much snow prohibited it.
I'll query all parties involved this weekend to see how this impacts their schedules and maybe decide on a later departure date.
Not to come in late but - unless you are going thru the high passes and then camping there you will likely be fine. It may snow but the spring snow is like the early fall snows comes and goes quickly. take a look at the CDOT CAMS and you will see the roads are for the most part clear.
Yes you can and will get snow late (the natives will tell you they often get a snow to mess up the tulips) but it is usually short lives and if you just are prepared it (IMHO) will be great.
If you are worried,about the weather, then come up to GSDNP and have Buena Vista as the focus and branch out from there as weather permits.
My bet is you will have a great trip, and even better weather.
BOL,
