With long days... I'd go Vernon on day 1.
Gives you option to simply enjoy Vernon if feel like and go back out Beehive...
skipping Gibson climb thru snow and Tiltill Valley.
Also if Falls Creek is VERY high ... you can go over the bridge in the morning
when the flooded area around it is down (the bridge near Vernon outlet
can get a little overflow... which may cause much pause... or pause to
why anyone would even mention)
If you go Rancheria first... then ... it depends... but you MAY want to continue
on b/c it's not that far to there... and then it's thru Tiltill you go...
Anywho... in winter... we go Rancheria/Tiltill/Vernon...
in summer ... other way around...
Only Vernon is a nice trip... that one is good year round...
It's spring ... you're gonna get your feet wet.... you're gonna have brush... you're gonna have deadfall.
Embrace it.
Have fun
