You can legally hike from any INF trailhead until you hit the wooden Wilderness sign. For Mosquito Flat TH (aka Little Lakes Valley), you get about a quarter of a mile of hiking before the Wilderness boundary (screenshot below). Check out CalTopo to get a sense of where these Wilderness boundaries lie within the Inyo National Forest.
