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.
