"I could be mistaken but is normal Trail courtesy that Saddle/Pack/Animals/'Hikers have trail right of way over Mountain bikes etc?"
You're not mistaken. As far as I know, horses/pack animals always have the right-of-way. Then it's hikers, then wheeled transportation after that. I believe that's standard all over the country.
Phil and I are more day hikers than extended backpackers, but on the occasions when we have gone out for longer periods, we've usually had someone along with a water filter. We also carry water bottles with built-in filters. I've used the iodine and chlorine treatment methods back in high school, but those make the water taste NASTY!
