Every year, mosquitoes bother us. We just put up with it. I remember walking the "High Trail" in the Wind River Range, the JMT of the Wind River Range. We walked down into a little valley, and the sound of mosquitoes was so horrible, we cringed. I covered my dog in my bag, and she escaped.
It was a great tip though.

North Fork Big Pine Creek - The mosquitoes were terrible this past weekend - especially between 10,500' and 12,000' If there was a breeze blowing, it wasn't too bad but, otherwise; even the Deet didn't stop them from attacking.
