My friend and I are headed up to Franconia notch for a section hike some time around July 29th. We are only planning to do a few nights on the trail so we'll probably be loaded with goodies for the thru hikers up that way. I'm just curious as to what I should expect as far as bugs go. Are the black flies still out at and should I expect a mosquito onslaught? How about ticks? Any info would be much appreciated.
