Didn’t anyone know the most basic first aid and have the most basic supplies?
Nevermind...

On average two people die this way every year at the Grand Canyon.

Hiking would not be the first thing I’d think of in 115-degree temperatures.

My grandparents drove out to the Grand Canyon from NC.
They stayed 10 minutes then turned around and drove home. Not very impressed.
I’ve never been.

What exactly? A 53 yo exerting herself in 115 degree temperature is a risky move for a young and healthy person never mind an older person.

Oh it’s beautiful. You want to see it in early morning, late afernoon when the shadows are beautiful. North shore is wonderful. I hear a hike down is amazing. The lodge there is old and wonderful. I would not go in summer.

Problem the Canyon has this time of year is there’s a big difference between the rim weather and the river weather. Gain about 5 degrees with every 1000 foot drop. So you can start a hike in the 80s and get 110 before you’re to the bottom.

We used to do desert camping in central Utah. We’d see tourists frequently, walking down trails, no hats, maybe a small water bottle in their hands. Usually not.
I’m surprised more don’t collapse and die.

How do you know what they did or didn't do, or have?
You can't tell from the story.

I wonder if she had been drinking any form of alcohol.

I once saw a woman on the main trial on Mount Monadnock in southwestern NH with high heels on and a dress.
Monadnock is the second most often climbed mountain in the world after Mt Fuji in Japan.

It is certainly worth seeing! We went a few years back, and got a cabin right on the south rim for 2 nights. It ranks up in the top handful of memories in my life.
We took a bus tour of the south rim area, and also stayed in Flagstaff, and wish we had planned for longer, to see Sedona area.

Do not hike AZ in June.
Hottest, driest month of the year.

once went for a very strenuous/steep and long hike on a hot day in August with my 20 yo son, we carried about 20 bottles of water for the hike, about 10 each - we were about 50 bottles short of what we actually needed....
To: BenLurkin
Too hot for hiking and exertion
Even in dry heat
