I think July and September are supposed to be the best because of a combination of dry weather and warm temperatures and lower water levels. August, I understand, carries a higher risk of storms causing flash floods.
Ha!
Me, after taking a friend up University Peak in a thunderstorm: "Next time... wait, maybe you don't want to go hiking with me again..."
Hiking (ex)buddy: "You figured that out, huh?"
Seriously, the Narrows is a very fun hike! Better the younger you are, though. When you're young, the falling is a lot more fun.

HikingYou should add Old Rag to that list, it is right next to White Oak Canyon and a fun hike during the off-season.
Great report!!

Re: Losing hiking partnersWhen you're older, falling creates an excuse to stop and rest. :)
