So, my guess would be they would be present but not in enough numbers where you would want to cancel your trip.Richard O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220291149016460968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954169774784248994.post-53257022829676358822021-01-26T09:51:15.849-08:002021-01-26T09:51:15.849-08:00Great photos on the Flickr album!

The mosquitos were ferocious, but the beauty was worth it. Enjoy your summer!

We did this trip mid June.

Confused by the presence of all the mosquitos (which makes me think June or July) AND the thru hikers (who don’t usually show up in Oregon until late July or August). Just wondering what to expect in terms of the bugs.... thanks!

The lower portion of the hike at Diamond View Lake is an alternate route for PCT hikers and gets a lot of use accordingly.
