The hostels were somewhat different.
Hilda Creek was a remote (unattended) hostel. There was a combination lock on the door and we received the combo with our reservation. I went down to a nearby stream to filter water.
Mosquito Creek was a staffed and drive up hostel. There was a sink and running water.
I don't remember exactly how much I was carrying, but seem to recall there were several instances each day I could have topped up on some additional water. For example, Hilda Creek wasn't too far past thew pass, and on other side was a large visitor center.
