Rancheria Falls was suggested because it will be below snowline. Vernon and Laurel are well above snowline. Hite Cove is below snowline.
There will be varying amounts of snow until June... in April there will still be plenty above 7,000 feet.
Also, being very athletic is no guarantee of being possessed of the kind of endurance you need for backpacking. Getting to Rancheria Falls in one day and then up the switchbacks to LeConte, particularly when there will be snow starting midway up and getting deeper as you go higher, is probably not something one would enjoy doing.... Also no guarantee the bridges are done by the time you get there so crossing in front of Wapama will be pretty much suicidal if you are not familiar with swiftwater techniques.

I thought it was no boats, no swimming, no fishing, no touch, just look, because all that water was going straight down into the faucets of folks in the bay area.
