Frequently Asked & Question
On the mountain, we will provide you with a large four- to five-gallon cooler of water at each camp, and during our sit-down lunches. This water is treated with water guard tablets and filtered. On the mountain we strongly recommend that you also use your tablets to treat this water one litter at a time as you fill your bottles several times each day, using iodine or other recommended water treatment solutions.
