Grand Canyon Heat Crisis Kills Hikers

The Grand Canyon is turning deadly hot—with temps hitting 110°F at Phantom Ranch and park officials warning against midday hikes after three recent hiker deaths linked to heat illness. Bottom-of-the-canyon heat can be 20-25°F hotter than the rim, making climbs treacherous even on mild days. With monsoon relief still months away, and the West facing record heat and fire danger, rangers urge visitors to hike early, stay hydrated, and never underestimate the canyon’s deceptive climate.
