I am guessing an ND filter or two, AV mode f/13.0, ISO 100. That\'s what I\'d do at least. A polarizing filter (in place of the second ND filter) may help to remove the glare from the water seen in the above image. I\'d also take a Wal-mart sack to collect colorful leaves on your way there (oh come on, you know you\'ve done it!).
The Narrows is 17 miles from the top to the TOS parking lot. If you plan to photograph alot, you better be on the early shuttle and you better hustle. Otherwise you better pack a tent. The water will likely not be above your knees at any point (unless you take a wrong step).
The Subway is 8 miles from the top to lower parking lot (I\'d pack a wetsuit in November cause you\'re going swimming). It\'s about 5 miles (without swimming) one way from the lower parking lot. Travel times (vary based on load, group size, and conditioning) each way are similar as you are going up river but down hill on the way there and the opposite on the way back.
Either hike is not easy and I would pack your equipment accordingly. A dry bag, one body with new batteries and empty memory card, lens(es) that will cover your super-wide to 50mm range, filters, lightwt tripod, and shutter release should suffice. You will not need a zoom on these hikes, unless you happen to see an elk at the top of the Subway hike (you will hear them).
