Hiker dies in Grand Canyon

July 3, 2013

On hot days in the summer, Grand Canyon hiking can be dangerous. According to “Woman dies while hiking in Grand Canyon,” by Miguel Otarola, a woman who was hiking with a group of five people died on South Kaibab Trail Sunday afternoon.

“The recorded high for Sunday afternoon was 113, according to the park. An excessive-heat warning was in effect for the Grand Canyon through Sunday evening, the Weather Service said. Phantom Ranch suffered a water shortage Friday after rangers discovered a leak in the pipeline carrying water to the area, according to the Park Service,” Otarola wrote.

The National Park Service is investigating the cause of death.
