Trail #33 to Cultus Lake almost clear of snow except for patches just before lake. No problems along the trail. The west shore of Cultus very muddy with lots of snow. No dry camping spots available. Deep Lake has no snow but it's still very wet around the lake. Few dry camping spots. Mosquitos are just coming into their own with the warm weather. Three hikers passed us coming down from Bear Lake where they said you couldn't take a breath without inhaling them. They actually broke down their camp and left because they couldn't take it. Fishing was OK for small rainbows in Deep Lake. Apparently it was better up at Bear if you could deal with the mosquitos. We didn't try Cultus. Not many flowers. I don't know if it's too late or they're still to come.
