British Backpacker looking for November US Trail!

[Jammer]

Hi All, 

As in the title, I'm a reasonably experienced British backpacker looking for a fairly long distance hike of between 1-3 weeks that doesn't involve too much in the way of extreme weather. I don't want to snowshoe/crampon, though cold weather and a little snow is fine. Rain is no problem (I live in England remember..)

Whereabouts the trail is doesn't really bother me as I'll be making the trip from London so can fly anywhere. I'd also consider the idea of two different trails in different parts of the country (assuming they're not on opposite sides of the country!). 

Basically I'd like to be out in the US for around three weeks in total. 

I was planning to hike the JMT in August this year however that fell through, hence my trip in November. 

So far I've only really found the Arizona Trail, as the climate seems to be reasonable for that time of year - obviously I'd not be able to walk the whole distance in my time frame, but if anyone can suggest the best sections I'd be very grateful.

Any suggestions for November 1-3 week long trails very gratefully received!

Do let me know if I've missed any information out.

Kind regards, 

James

I am not as familiar with Arizona..but I know the mountains can get snow. May be a little cold in November higher up.

Utah, on the other hand, would work well overall.   The Hayduke Trail takes in many of the national parks and other recreational lands.

Still pretty scenic and logistically easier would be the a portion of the Grand Enchantment Trail

A last option could be a portion of the CDT in New Mexico. Snow can happen..but pretty gentle compared the CO Rockies in November!
