I’m hoping to get out for another 50-60 mile backpacking trip in the Sierra this summer. I’ve been reviewing my notes from my HST hike, thinking about gear selection, and have started testing out a few items on training hikes and on my snowshoeing trips.

I'll post more details and questions as I get things figured out, but in a normal rainfall year, when are the mosquitos/bugs the worst?


Kearsarge Pass to Whitney (darn construction), North/South Lake Loop through Evo Valley and Rae Lakes Loop are the areas I am considering.
