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.

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.

Do not hike AZ in June.

Hottest, driest month of the year.

Too hot for hiking and exertion

Even in dry heat

It’s warm and dry here in the west. Dehydration can sneak up on you.

The backpacking group, which was on a multi-day trip down the Hermit Trail to the Bright Angel Trail, flagged someone down to radio park rangers, but officials were unable to get to Meder until Sunday, by which time she had already died.

Probably didn’t want to interrupt the Hearts tournament at HQ
