Being up that high in elevation what are the mosquito's like in June and July?
Mosquitos are not so much a problem; black flies are. Depends on proximity to water. We use citronella candles in the afternoon/early evening, seem to help.

The black flies can be very annoying, and we've considered getting one of those screened in canopies to give us some relief from those pesky flies.
