Camped overnight at deadman's lake, proceeding to Vanson next day. Trail is clear, but mosquitoes are a menace, especially around the goat mountain and deadman's lake. It get's a bit better closer to the Vanson peak. The views from the peak are stunning.
On Saturday we were sad to see the trail being destroyed by dirt bikes. Disturbing the serenity of the place with nearly unmuffled rumble of the engine starting 6AM even though those are supposed to be illegal on the trail.
I wouldn't mind a few logs on the trail here and there to keep these away.
Other then that - it's an awesome hike with lots of wildflowers to watch and 3 grand mountains to observe.
