Backpacked this route 7/13. Weather was beautiful and hardly anyone on the trail. No one else was at the lake. Mosquitoes were ferocious almost the entire trail, but especially at Wasco Lake. The mosquitoes pretty much ignored that we had DEET on and a fire going. There were lots of snow crossings. About a dozen were a few hundred feet, another dozen were much more lengthy. We were able to do it without microspikes, but it was slow going.
