Ditto MStudio.
Frigid mountain streams usually harbor fewer microscopic beasties than warmer ones further south. Got a nasty case of ringworm some 15 years ago from just wading into a stream in western Pa and washing. If water's suspect, solar shower w/ extra portaged water or wipes. But for just a few days - yer w/ friends, right?
