A woman died at the Grand Canyon National Park while trying to hike eight miles
The 57-year-old was hiking near the Tuweep area of the park when she became unconscious, according to a news release from the park service. A park ranger found her early Monday around 1 a.m. and she was pronounced dead. The temperature in the area was over 100 degrees and reached nearly 114 degrees in some areas, according to the park service. An excessive heat warning is in place for the inner parts of the Grand Canyon through Wednesday, NPS said.
Heat-related deaths have climbed 74% since 1980, a 2021 study found. And extreme heat is the No. 1 weather-related killer for humans, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. “What is most problematic about heat is that this is a sneaky climate issue because it kills many people, but it is not impressive like a hurricane or something. It’s just happening all the time, so it is sneaky,” environmental epidemiologist Tarik Benmarhnia of the University of California, San Diego told CNN.
