Saw a thread post about the topic so figured I'd just make a report. Trail is dry from the lakes all the way up. The 4x4 road has the occasional wet spot but far from mud or muck. The bugs were out and take my experience with a grain of salt because I've spent summers in northern Alaska but I didn't think the mosquitoes were bad and they only really appeared above treeline. The state of the camping areas around S. Colony Lakes is sorry, saw lots of human waste among the willows, not far from the main trail and other established campsites. Make sure to treat water. Bummer to see
