Well, a wall of water came down it. Although in the book Frodo rode himself across the ford, and Glorfindel just brought him there. He was nowhere near as out of it in the book.
I thought the glory of Lothlorien and Rivendell was because of the rings
Not really, because the elves had to hide the rings so that Sauron didn't know they existed. Also, they weren't forged by Sauron as the other rings were. But while I think the rings did harness some of the power, what happened in Rivendell and Lothlorien was more than just attributed to the rings.
Or Aragorn's magical healing powers that come with being king.
Those, I think, come because he is descended of the kings of Numenor, which seem to have some sort of ties to the Elves, and it's only the kings that have that healing power.
