Route suggestions: Reavis to Peralta

We are planning a 4 day- 3 night hike the last week in March. Our hope is:
Rogers Trough to Reavis Ranch
across Frog Tanks Trail
down JT to Randolph Canyon
across Coffee Flats to Peralta

Does this sound do-able? (Three Alaskan women - ages 35-55 - pretty fit after a winter of skiing and biking - but not used to dryness and heat)
Can we camp at the Roger's Trough trailhead to get an early start? (this isn't included in the 3 nights)
Is 8-10 miles a day reasonable?
Any recent water reports for Randolph and Dripping Springs and Reeds Water?

Love this site, and all of the in depth information! Thanks so much.

Sounds reasonable. We did a different version starting at Tule in late Nov 2010. Yours is more practical and scenic from Rogers. I don't think you'll have water issues. It just rained a little yesterday. I'd still load up at Randolph with enough to make it to Peralta just to be safe. Surprisingly very little catclaw too.

There are a ton of people that would love to hear about your journey when you get back. (Post -> triplog at the top of any page)

I think you mean JF, not JT. Sounds like a good loop, hope the weather cooperates!

Trip was fantastic. Lots of water. I'll post a triplog soon.
