Description | We will drive to the end of the Surge Narrows Road and hike along the undulating, relatively short trail to the rocky bluffs overlooking the Narrows. The current will not be running strongly. We will then continue on the unmaintained route to a small bay. It’s unlikely that the tide will be low enough to reach the island. (Low tide at 11:05 – 3.7m; 10:07 – slack current, 12:48 – max flood 5.4 kt)) |
Meeting Place | Heriot Bay Store for car pooling |
Departure Time | 10:00 |
