I've been invited to a week-long trip doing the Grand Sawtooth Loop in Mid July (11-17, I think). Any beta you can share about this loop would be appreciated, especially availability of water, canister or hang, is it hammockable?, expected temps, etc.

Thanks!

Really glad that you are planning a trip here to Idaho! The Sawtooths will thrill you with all that they have to offer!
In general; water is easy, usually very abundant and accessible. Bear cans are not needed, leave that weight at home. Hammocks are well suited for the terrain unless you are up at the very highest reaches above tree line. This year the bugs will be about normal, and the snow pack is about average. Your timing will be perfect.

If you get a chance, drop me a line and I can throw out some ideas for your trip with more specifics and details.
