Spent 4 days in the Desolation Wilderness (the Crystal Range) last week, wandering high n' low. Lots of water. Lots of flowers. No bugs to speak of, maybe 3 or 4 times I swatted. Swam in some nice lakes, enjoyed 20-40 MPH winds as they buffeted tents and danced across water, and generally had a fantastic time. Went in at Wrights Lake and visited Twin/Island lakes and Mount Price, then over Rockbound Pass to base at Lake Doris and day hike north.
Day 1 - Twin/Island lakes & Mt Price.
