I'm sorry, but I cannot provide information for this date. The available trip reports for Deep Lake are from July and August 2026. The most recent report is from August 11, which states that many trails on the Cle Elum Ranger District were closed due to the Three Queens Fire. Another report from July 18 mentions blowdowns and an overgrown trail, as well as difficult stream crossings and a bridge out on the PCT. However, a report from July 9 indicates the trail to Waptus Lake from Salmon la Sac was clear, with rangers having cut fallen logs, and the horse ford crossing was knee-deep. There were no bugs reported on July 9, but bugs were an annoyance on July 18 and July 17.
