Assuming one was going due east on the road over the Misty Mountains, I would say maybe a week on horseback. Its been my experience that trying to cross mountains in early spring usually has several obstacles, like if its early spring in the lower elevations, it still is being winter in the high country. Even if it was warming in the high country, you have obstacles like high water from snowmelt, washouts, fallen rocks and trees, etc.
