This is a great post - thank you very much for explaining what we are seeing in each picture, it adds so much value. I can enjoy a photo which is maybe not the greatest photo in the world if I learn a story about the place - and likewise I get very little satisfaction out of amazing photography if I have no connection or story.
I am guessing this is relatively high up in the mountains - what elevation were you at?
You are right - drinking straight from an icy cold mountain waterfall is pure bliss. Nothing better. This post actually made me a little homesick for my hometown in Alaska and the mountains, lakes and streams there.
