Running water in the mountains? I have never had any issues or ever purified and in the last 5 years I have been on over 50 over-nights
I always take the tablets just in case but have never used them in the mountains. Dont drink from standing or lake water. Waterfall, fast river/stream never had any problem.
Bring some wide mouth bottles so they are easy to fill.
