Jul 21, 2010 at 5:21 pm #1631152Hey Jay, I have not been that far north this year but for the most part the weather has been warm, we had a really wet spring and now the mosquitoes are very thick in the mountains. Plan for day time temps near 80 and nights are likely to be in the low 40's and some spots below that. Snow should be mostly gone but for some high passes but I have run into some still muddy wet trails. I have seen some spotty snow banks on the north sides of hills above 8000 feet. Not real specific to that spot but hope it helps some.

Jul 21, 2010 at 7:21 pm #1631183To my knowledge there is no area of Id that requires bear canisters but you may check with the local ranger district to see if they might recommend one. Most areas that I go to we don't take any bear precautions.
