I have been backpacking most of the summer in the Sawtooth and Frank Church Wilderness. Was thinking about doing 5 or 6 days next week In the Winds. Titcomb Basin or Cirque of the Towers. Anyway know how bad the mosquitos are there right now

I was in the area last week but not backpacking, so I didn't get up high. Flies were the issue where I was. I would imagine the mosquitos are getting fierce in there now. Heard that the snowline, as of early last week was at around 10,700. Generally speaking, the snowpack was heavier in the northern half of the range.
Good luck!
