In late August I am planning a short 3-day hike/loop out of the Rush Creek Trailhead (June/Silver Lake area)heading up to Waugh Lake and Island Pass area. But a friend of mine just got back from a trip to out of Mammoth to nearby Ediza Lake and said the mosquito’s were terrible, the creeks were running waist high and the snow at and above approx. 9,600’ was still very deep. I was just wondering if anyone has been thru the Island Pass area recently and can give me a reading on current trail conditions. Thanks!!
