I just did Mt. Whittier yesterday from Norway pass and passed by there no bugs on the entire trip. The snow is all melted off but there was a couple of small streams still running. And lots of flowers and berries.

Looks like a great weekend enjoy.

I was camped at Bear Camp this past weekend. No bugs. Water in the creek just west of the latrine. Be sure to leave camp with a full water supply if you're heading west towards Mt. Margaret and Coldwater Peak, as we didn't see any water between Bear Camp and Coldwater Peak (unless you off-trail to St. Helens Lake). Lots of berries.

Have a great time!
