[QUOTE="ssssnake529, post: 1207929, member: 92079"] 9 out of 10 times, mountain water in the U.S. is fine, particularly if you are not on a piece of land that allows for grazing. However, you can occasionally pick up giardia, particularly if you are in lower terrain that has beavers or other water loving mammals. I know a number of folks that generally don't treat their water in the mountains, and very few of them get sick. However, chlorine dioxide tablets are so light and effective that I just use them even if the risk is small. [/QUOTE]
