Haven't been there myself yet this year... but I did see
the Clark Range from Harriet Lake and Foerster Peak two
weekends ago.

I would worry about anything at this point in the season.
Maybe just some dusty ground up trails compliments of the
hoofed locusts out there....

Have fun

I guess I should mention that I've heard reports of no mosquitos.
That certainly wasn't our experience last week...
We camped at Ruth, Otter, Peninsula, Bigelow, and above
Kennedy Lake in Northern Yosemite and Emigrant... and there were
a plenty of mosquitos... enough where the headnet was used
on occasion.
I'm heading to Ostrander, Buena Vista. etc. area tomorrow and I
plan on being prepared for mosquitos... I'd suggest the same
for a couple more weeks...

Have fun

The bugs are still out. Hummingbirds at 10,500' are the best! Bugs are only around wet areas and lakes. 34 miles in 2 days. Great hike!

Nice.

Thought about you when saw the Clark Range from Buena Vista Crest
and Horse Ridge Sat. and Sun.

How you like Porphyry?
