It was a hot day but there was still a large amount of snow on the north slopes of the mts and in the depressions. The area with snow offered a very cool climate that was refreshing. Indian Heaven Wilderness is still snowed in at the northern border (4ft) and the trail is almost completely covered. The mosquitos were out in force but we were prepared and didn't get an y bites! Big Mosquito Lake is beautiful!
