The weather was warm and sunny.  On the way up we were mostly shaded and the temperature was pleasant for shorts and a t-shirt. 

The lakes had more mosquitoes than I had anticipated and I used someone else's bug repellent. 

After a stop at Hope Lake to regroup, we followed a piece of the PCT to Mig Lake where we stopped for lunch.  The bugs weren't quite so bad here. 

On the way down, the trail was more in the sun and hotter.
