We packed our tents and everything after eating breakfast in the campground and drove over to where we ordered the wetsuits (and dry suit), picked them up and drove back to the parking area. We parked and hopped on a bus heading to the Narrows. Everyone else wore a wetsuit because the water was 47 degrees. But 47 degrees sounded cold to me so I got a dry suit. Basically, you're inside a plastic bag so you don't get wet, but the water is still around you so it's cold. So... you wear sweats and warm clothes inside the dry suit. I have to say that I never really got cold but it was pretty warm when I was out of the water and in direct sun.
We hiked about 2 miles into the Narrows. It was very slow going because the current was very strong and we were walking in water from ankle deep to neck deep. It was an amazing adventure but the best part was when we came back down stream. In the places where the water was deep and there were no rocks we could float on our backs in the water. It was great fun!

Veda took these wonderful pictures.
That evening we ate at the Spotted Dog Cafe again and it was delicious again. Then we drove through the park again to a cabin that we had rented for 2 nights near the east entrance. The cabin was wonderful and we all slept well.
