## Resource

Arizona’s deadly heat is turning popular hiking trails into life-or-death zones, with multiple hikers dying from heat-related emergencies—especially in Tucson and Phoenix, where trails are now shut down during peak hours. Over 200 rescues happen annually in Phoenix alone, straining emergency crews—but crucially, no one gets billed for calling 911. The Grand Canyon is equally perilous, with temperatures soaring above 109°F between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., prompting warnings to avoid inner canyon trails during those hours. Experts urge hikers to plan smart: hydrate, rest in shade, and recognize early signs of heat illness—because help might not come quickly.
