Sorry for the delay, been in San Diego.

We were there 8/23 - 8/28. The weather was very enjoyable for me. The 50 degree river cools the air a lot. For river running, I would advise anybody that gets cold easily to go in June or late Aug - early Sep. You stay wet a good portion of the time and the cool air can have quiet a chilling effect. July is the hottest month statisically. It gets extremely hot if you get more than 100 yards from the river but as you can see, there are ample opportunities to soak yourself. On one side hike from the inner gorge, my thermometer measured 104 but it was not an issue because we kept saoking our entire bodies in the creek.

Our group was a mix, with the largest party being six guys from St Louis.
