Scott Sims, a 69-year-old man from Austin, Texas, died hiking the River Trail while trying to reach Phantom Ranch at Grand Canyon National Park.
A hiker collapsed and died on a trail in Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona over the weekend, prompting parks officials to warn about the dangers of hiking in extreme heat. Scott Sims, 69, of Austin, Texas, was attempting to reach Phantom Ranch via the South Kaibab Trail for an overnight stay when he was found semi-conscious around 7 p.m. Saturday, the National Parks Service said in a statement on Monday.
Park rangers strongly advise not hiking in the inner canyon during the heat of the day between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.,' NPS said. Officials said that its efforts to help hikers during the summer months may be delayed due to limited staff, an increased number of rescue calls, safety requirements for staff, and helicopter usage being limited in extreme heat or periods of inclement weather.
and the Coconino Medical Examiner are investigating the death. No cause of death was immediately provided. The death comes after a Salt Lake City fire captain died in a rafting accident at Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado. An NPS review of deaths in national parks between 2014 and 2019 found that hiking was the second-deadliest recreational activity behind driving, while drowning caused the second-highest number of unintentional deaths after motor vehicle crashes.
