The only advice I can really give you is to avoid Pear Lake like the plague. Instead, camp up the Marble Fork drainage just a little ways beyond the Ranger Station.

Yes, beautiful, but also can be a skeeter hell hole this time of the year, be prepared.
I like Table Meadows - wonderful place, after the mosquitoes are all gone.

Yeah, I'm thinking I might actually just go to Moose and back out Alta instead of over to Pear/Watchtower. Hopefully breezy enough around Moose or to keep mosquitos at bay!

love those layers of exfoliation on those gentle sloped slabs above the ranger station and the beautiful sheets of water
