    Happens all the time. People are idiots. Most of them tourist who can't read the signs at the trailheads warning them not to hike in the summer.

    Two of the most popular trial in town are closed when it gets hot and they have to station rangers to prevent people from ignoring the closure.

    "Kristin Livingston, one of the hikers with the group, said the hike had been intended to be a "spiritual" challenge for the group."

    Yeah, almost dying is about as spiritual as one can get.

    Back in the day I hiked that park on the south side of Phoenix. It's actually pretty nice. It was in February so heat wasn't a problem. But the damn coyotes scared the hell out of me. They were lurking all around and howling.

    Yesterday was around 112. If someone is not used to it, they are even more likely to succumb to the intense heat. I agree with Utah. They just about how the most intense unintentional religious experience of their former lives.
