I'm planning a trip this summer to western Montana and north/eastern Idaho.
(Q: "Didn't you do that trip last summer, Mark?" A: "No, I cancelled my trip at the last minute")
Unlike my cancelled trip-plan last year, this year I'm targeting late June to early/mid-July...unless someone who knows the area can tell me why that's too early.
My itinerary, such as it is, is the same as I planned last year, but earlier in the summer when wildfires will be less of a factor.
So, wondering:

So, wondering:
- Will snow be generally gone? One Montana WTWer has told me it was a good winter for snow, so maybe higher elevations won't be clear...?
- How about biting bugs...? Mosquitoes are OK, but I really don't like black flies or other biting flies.
- Any other downside to the span from late June to mid-July?
