This year, through the Sierra in mid June, I did not filter water, nor did I
have any problems. In addition, I have hiked the Sierra almost every summer
since just after Mt. Whitney rose out of the slime, around May 1958. I have
never filtered water nor had any problems. That being said, next summer I'll
probably turn myself inside-out next on the PCT from Tuolumne north. I did
filter or treat water from Campo to Mt. Whitney. All in all, I truly believe
that the Sierra are safe if one is judicious. The extra 8 oz for a water filter
may not be all that much, however, when considering the effort and expense
and time of hiking the PCT.
No Way
