We spent Friday and Saturday nights (July 7th and 8th) at Pelton Camp, down the other side of Cascade Pass. The rangers had said that Pelton was under snow, and many tent sites were, but we found a great level spot without snow to call home. No other campers at Pelton either night made for a more ""remote"" feel than you can usually get in this area. And no real bugs yet! We day hiked both directions from the Pass (Ptarmigan Traverse and Sahale), and both were pleasant and beautiful, with grouse and goats and marmots abound. What a great trip!
