Not ideal but probably drinkable. However, there was a water cache shortly, so we dumped out the nasty water and replaced it with the bottled water from the cache which tasted much better for once. We didn\u2019t know this source wasn\u2019t the best; other hikers had reported it as good. I haven\u2019t been relying on caches at all this trip, but this was the first one that I was thankful for.
