Hike Smart Before Heat Kills | Tucson News

SARA, Southern Arizona’s rescue team, has already pulled off 35 rescues this year—most in blistering heat where hikers can collapse in as little as 20 minutes. They urge you to hit the trails early, pack at least one liter of water per hour, and always tell someone your plans. Last weekend, they airlifted a man injured in Tanque Verde Canyon—a reminder that even rugged terrain gets treacherous when temps soar. With 70 new applicants for their upcoming training class, SARA is expanding its ranks to meet demand. Stay safe: wear sun protection, hydrate smart, and call 911 if you’re in trouble—rescue is free, and your life matters most.
