Description

The second half of the Narrows can be trickier than the first half. There are boils before the last Narrows rapid, that can get squirly at high water, and slow down your momentum. As for the last rapid, you can usually take either river right, or river left. At higher water, river right can create a curler off the rock in the middle, that can stern squirt you if you hit it. If you don't have a roll, it could be a long swim. Overall, it's an amazing section of river.
