A hiker died in the Grand Canyon on Sunday, marking the third death at the national park in the past month. The National Park Service has warned that temperatures on the trails can reach 120 degrees in the shade.
The agency advised visitors to avoid hiking in the inner canyon from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Emergency responders may also take longer in the summer due to limited staff, number of rescue calls, employee safety requirements, and limited helicopter flying capability during periods of extreme heat or inclement weather.
