It’s a very remote and rigorous trail normally, but then you add of course the excessive heat warning the park was in and temperatures in the shade that are well over 100 degrees.”Park officials said that for hikers to stay safe, they should carry adequate water and avoid hiking at mid-day, when temperatures are at their highest.
