Where to go in mid April 2019

Cody, bring bikes to Zion, if you can -- the ride up the canyon (and the glide back down) is world-class!

Suggest you make all your RV resverations as soon as possible!

Cody, we're hoping to hear more about what kinds of things you like to do -- mountain bike? Hike? Snowshoeing? Do you like to boondock?

Skaget valley tulip festival will be in full bloom.

Maybe I'm confused, but the OP is looking for somewhere that is within a 10 hour drive from LA, correct?

So why would you suggest Skaget valley in WA state? That's about a 24 hour drive.

It's actually about 18 from LA.
And it's worth the drive.

As the OP has not complained I would guess he's fine with all the Suggestions. . :)

JMHO,

We enjoyed Anza-Borrego Desert State Park

april is too hot for the low desert. I would head up US 395 and explore the side roads.

Zion is at 3,000 ft. above sea level, Bryce is at 8,000-9,000 ft., and Cedar Breaks is at 10,000 ft. So not exactly "low desert".

But there could be snow at that time of year. In fact, we drove through a near white-out at Cedar Breaks on Memorial Day weekend.

He said "spring break." In Colorado at least, that means a week plus a weekend, ie., 9 days. But maybe it is different in California?

And, if the kids have a spring break, they are school-age, which I assumed meant they were old enough to enjoy and remember a visit to a national park.
