One 72-year-old fell ill on the South Kaibab Trail; four days later, a 67-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman died on the North Kaibab Trail, both before help arrived. The National Park Service now urges hikers to avoid trails between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., as heat-related incidents are rising. Investigations are ongoing, but the message is clear: extreme caution and preparedness are non-negotiable when facing nature’s fury.
