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.

July 16th-July 18th - Wolverton to Alta Meadow

There were no mosquitoes at all above Panther Gap. Had three and four mosquitoes hovering around me once we got back to the car at Wolverton

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.
