Don't go hiking in that heat. This was avoidable.
Yeah, I don't get it. If it's 90+ degrees don't go hiking in the desert. If there is torrential rain, don't go to the edge of a rising river. If it's in the middle of a winter snow storm, don't go hiking in the sierras. Every year people do those things, and every year people die. I'm sorry for them, but is like they've lost all common sense and survival instinct.
@cvn6555 Nature took its course.
What's even dumber is that they're in Utah, you can go up into the mountains where it's 50 degrees. WHY would you hike in the desert in the hot summer? Anyone with common sense in the western US knows you go up in elevation during the summer if you want to hike... hike down in the desert in the fall or winter.
green bluue earth decides our end of life.
@@Wft-bu5zc Most ppl lack basic common sense now.
It can’t be taught, so.... 🙄
canyons get incredibly hot because of the lack of breeze and radiant heat from rocks
its called a hollow and its much more dangerous when they're cold
Agree, i lived in Canada and walked a mile belew zero a few times@@gyozanomics
Breeze or no breeze it makes no difference there
@@LisaPFrampton breeze makes all the difference
Who would take their parents on a hike in the middle of a heatwave? Lack of common sense is unbelievable.
You should be able to walk 20 miles in extreme heat or you're not fit to survive
Ive hiked 18-24 miles in a given day with 110 degree temps out, 60 lb pack, not a big deal. Wear long sleeves and carry a lot of water.
The water is heavy but w/e
@@gyozanomics Congratulations Rambo, most people don't do crazy things like that. It's Not normal.
@@gyozanomicsSo you think everyone is the same physically? Why didn’t you mention dragging your parents along with you?
@@euphoricmonk Right!
@@gyozanomics 🤔🙄
I'm from Texas and you know not to go hiking in the middle of the day during the summer.
well I'm from the Mojave and i'll hike any day of the year if you give me the pack and water
Guess Texas can't survive in the desert who knew they were soft when it came to that
Some ppl are happy w/no common sense...till they’re not.
Head shakingly sad.
Warnings have been out & all over the news, signs posted...🤮
Guess ppl just think they can defy the odds for bragging rights.
Mind boggling.
@@gyozanomics Your arrogance is going to be your downfall. Nobody here in this comment section cares what foolish behavior you engage in. 👎
@@gyozanomics Well playing super man didn’t work well for them....🙄
Can’t teach common sense.
You either have it...or you don’t. SMH
I’m from Texas too! You know not to go to the mailbox in the middle of the day during summer!!
I just cannot fathom people taking these kinds of risks. I just can't
🔥 🥵
It’s lack of knowledge, not deliberate risk taking.
Well you're probably also overweight and live a sedentary lifestyle
Which objectively is a much bigger risk that you take everyday
@@brendasnow8255 Wrong lots of experienced hikers love the summer in the high desert
@@brendasnow8255 Zero common sense.
Too many suffer from it today.
And we’re living the results. 🤮
Ppl need Jesus to save them from themselves....👍
No One Else is going to.♥✝
maybe heatwave not best time to hike.
ya think..
Heatwave 😮
Heatwave or not, summer in the southwest is NOT the season to go for a day hike, or an afternoon hike. Early morning (begin a half hour before sunrise) and be out by 9 or 10 at the latest. If you think you have enough water...take more.
AND, wear a hat!
This is normal July weather in the desert.
I’m sorry for her passing. Why is anyone hiking in that heat? I hope her parents will be okay. God bless. Sorry for my ignorance but I don’t live in a state where it gets that hot.
I live in a state that gets extremely hot. Everything you said is correct. Praying for the parents. Please think before you head out in this heat. It’s deadly for even the most prepared and more for those who have no idea what their doing.
@@Elfie0100 I wonder if they were transplants (from another state), or just visiting. Some people underestimate their new environment, especially if they are used to different weather. So sad, but I can’t help but wonder why they would go hike in such extreme heat.
@@Elfie0100 such a tragedy to lose someone so young.
Sad 😔
I live in a hot state. We have folks die from heat stroke just about every year (I don't keep up with the numbers but it seems to be every year).
In fact, we're under a _Severe_ _Weather_ _Alert_ right this minute - _Excessive_ _Heat_ _Warning_
My condolences to the family, but going hiking in this heat is irresponsible and dangerous.
In that weather I would not hike more than 100 feet away from a body of water.
Lack of common sense claimed her life.
💯Bingo!🎯
It’s an epidemic now. SMH
@@sonneversets3530Facts. Next year lets see how many truly have it or lacks it.
Lack of experience and knowledge claimed her life.
Why are people hiking in the desserts in this heat
you cant even spell desert what makes you an authority?
No common sense.
It’s an epidemic now. SMH
@@gyozanomics you can’t even spell “can’t”, what makes you an authority in spelling? 😂
@@shinyagami8843 🤣
Because they're not from here.
Most people dying from heat and cold exposure these days are illegal immigrants.
If you come here legally you are educated and prepared and get experience.
Illegally=countless disasters
Good grief, I don't even like to stay outside 10 minutes when the temps get a little over 90, let alone go hiking in a desert area when it's over 100. Not judging, just saying it sounds like a bad choice.
Hiking in the desert at 110 degrees 😮
HYDRATE!! WATER! WATER! WATER! Even if it's warm it still keeps you hydrated.
Exactly
@@kellyanderson7624 it's too hot to stay hydrated out here in the desert. You lose water faster than you can take it in. Dont hike in the heat! I can't fathom why ppl even want to hike a low elevations in the summer. Its miserable.
No, stay home. I don't know about Utah but Colorado has issued high heat warnings all week. Take care of your pets ,too. So tragic.
Not just water, electrolytes...
@@kellyanderson7624if you truly believe that...oogleG wet bulb scenario. Basically it can get so hot that water cant cool your body anymore. So dangerous.
RIP Sweet Lady..
People! Please! STOP HIKING IN THE HEAT OF SUMMER!!
Its sad people dont understand the dangers of extreme heat. Check your weather....
Think about how much water you could possibly need, and double it. When it is 1/3 gone, turn back. A gallon of water weighs 7 pounds. A backpack with that, a first aid kit, light, phone, snacks, multi-tool, rain poncho, and extra socks weighs less than 15 pounds. If you don't want 15 pounds on your back, stay home please.
A gallon of water weighs 8.33#!
A gal of water falls too short of actual need in that.
Ppl w/o common sense, just stay home!
@@sonneversets3530 I see plenty of "hikers" hitting the trail with nothing but a 24oz bottle and hot pants.
@@donaldoutterson3071 Does nerding out on my numbers disprove my overall point, or does this just serve to make you feel superior to me?
@@user-dw1ls3rp1ljust read his username. That should tell you enough right there.
The animals know to stay out if deadly heat
Because they are smarter than us 😊
Why tf you want to hike in 100°+ temps?
never go out there unprepared how can people be so reckless ?!?!?!?
Father and daughter were said to have gotten lost... 100+ degrees...
Why go hiking in the heat period?
Zero common sense.
A common denominator of too many now. SMH
Hiking in that kind of summer heat seems like someone wasn’t thinking!
Why would you go hiking in 110-degree heat. If they started out in the morning with that kind of heat it would still be pretty warm and did, they bring anything to protect themselves, like water, hats, sunscreen, appropriate clothing. Please don't tell me they were in flip flops and shorts.
@@eugeniaskelley5194 Maybe they had some of those items but got lost and none of those items could save them. Have some respect. The young woman died. Your last sentence about flip flops and shorts is outrageous.
@@TheQueensWish ???? so what ! stupidity effects people of ALL sorts . There is nothing special about
this woman or her parents . Use common sense - and save your life !
@@TheQueensWish Ppl are out in f flops & shorts all the time in the heat.
Ppl w/zero common sense are among them.
Zero common sense is an epidemic now. 🙄
@@sonneversets3530 Zero empathy and zero compassion are also an epidemic along with jumping to conclusions about they might have been dressed.
@@TheQueensWish I didn’t say they were dressed like that. IDK
I made a factual statement you apparently don’t agree with.
I agree lack of empathy & compassion have been steadily on the rise.
That’s all part of biblical prophecy for these End Daze we’re in.
I can’t empathize, b/c I would never hike in such heat/conditions. So I’ve never been in that situation.
I have enough sense not to put myself there.
I’ve traveled extensively all over this once beautiful & much more safe country. And seen/experienced a lot.
And have witnessed ppl very unprepared for certain conditions they were putting themselves in.
Warning them brought both appreciation, & scolding.
So, to each his/her own.
We all learn, sooner or later. One way, or another.
I’ve learned expensive lessons in life, like most others have. Key word... _’learned’._
I heed warnings when they’re out/posted. I don’t try to defy them, thinking I can.
Warnings have been out in multiple states for weeks. On the news, SM, & posted at all public trails.
It’s not new news of ppl winding up like they did. You don’t need to be in that area to know about it.
2 ppl just passed when they got lost in a canyon just a couple days prior. It was all over the news.
Why do people put themselves in danger? Simply dont understand.
green blue earth decides our end of life.
Zero common sense is at epidemic levels. SMH
@@jamilateef6392 Not even close, dear. 🙄
News: “It’s going to be hot !”
People: “let’s go for a hike!”
😁
Ya, just don't get it.
This was completely avoidable.
Why in 110 heat
I don’t get it at all I’ll never understand…we are not CAMELS!!!
@@OpalineAndTheBean 😀
Common sense is almost extinct nowadaze.
Record temperatures. Respect the reality of that. Respect your bodies limits. Walk in the woods, the shade, with lots of water. If you don’t live near the woods, wait until temperatures drop into the safe zone. May peace be with her parents.
Common sense is far gone
@@GuitarsCarsandBikes yeah it's not that common anymore unfertunately
So is compassion, apparently.
@@hope4all366Compassion for this kind of thing????
So is empathy, I guess.
@@juliethompson8685 Empathy? Their daughter is dead. Where was their empathy and compassion?
No one should be hiking in the heat. It’s dangerous.😔
Park ranger- " Be sure to carry plenty of water, a fully charged cell phone and head protection "
Hikers- " Why do we need water it's called SNOW Canyon"
That’s like going to China Lake, CA (Naval base near Death Valley) pulling a boat and expecting to fish! No water here, just EARTHQUAKES AND FIRES!
Such stupidity
It's 103 where I'm at today. I'm going to start my 4 mile hike at 6 p.m. when it's 90, cloud cover, and a backpack full of water. People don't think hiking is dangerous. Sad story.
How ignorant what r they out there hiking for SMH
Saturday was cooking, even in CA. I was outside all day and was roasting.
Hey everybody let's hike in 115° weather!!!
@@maxv3208 snow canyon? Sounds more like hells canyon.
Why?!? Do these people think they’re better than us mere mortals? It’s not only dangerous, it’s unpleasant and uncomfortable. Heat stroke is no joke.
I can’t believe people. Come on. Don’t do things like this. So sad. Godspeed
Desert hiking during record heat is dangerous. Why not pick something else to do
Its 100 degrees let's hike around without shade
How awful. I’m so sorry for the suffering.
This is a shame but it happened for no good reason. 110 degrees means you stay inside in AC unless there is a damned good reason you have to go outside.
People have lost all common sense these days… Stay out of the desert during the summer, it would solve a lot of issues like this.
This is heartbreaking. Praying for those parents.
How sad and totally preventable. It's one more example of the death of common sense, like kayaking on swollen rivers or playing baseball during a storm. Be glad if you had parents that taught you the basics.
Common sense is too hard to teach, once your past the age of reason.
If it can even be taught at all.
Mind boggling how many lack it.😳
People will NEVER learn
you went hiking in 110 degree weather and want help paying the the results? pass
I can’t even walk to my mailbox and back without overheating. Summers keep getting hotter.
I hear that!!
The past couple were OK here. This, is another animal w/the humidity! Had a _wonderful_ June, till the final few days...
This is more August weather for here.
We’re putting in an A/C in an upstairs room, that hasn’t been needed the past 3 yrs.
I heard nothing at all in the story about why her parents are critical about the park. I do not understand what the National Park Service could have done, other than to close the park. I am very, very sorry for her parents, and everyone who loves her.😢😢😢😢😢💐
Parents are in critical condition, as they were hiking, too. I think. Yes, story wasn't very clear.
It’s the parents in critical condition.!
You partake in an activity that has the potential to have adverse effects and you are not prepared financially for the outcomes. I am so tired of the “it can’t happen to me or that does not happen here” attitude people have really separated themselves from reality.
Seeing people take unnecessary risks with their lives like these folks did is upsetting enough. But it's horrifying when you hear about young children dying because their "parents" exposed them to dangerously high temperatures. A 4-month-old infant died of heatstroke when she was taken out on a boat by her parents on July 4th weekend. The temps in Lake Havasu region reached 118 degrees that day. A 10- year-old boy died on July 2 while hiking with his father in AZ, when the temp was 113 degrees. What is wrong with these people??
The baby's parents actually collected almost fifty grand in a GoFundMe solicitation, on which they posted a photo of themselves holding the deceased infant. Seriously??
@@evening6402 wait a minute, wait a minute. Do you mean the photo was of the parents and child like, a picture taken previously, before the child’s passing? Or do you literally mean a photo of the parents holding the deceased child, after death??
@jadesterbaby, it was a photo taken postmortem in the hospital. The baby was completely covered by a blanket, and the parents, who were understandably upset, were holding her. But, given the circumstances of the child's illness and death, I was offended by the solicitation of funds that were supposedly meant to help the baby's parents recover from the trauma of her death, and it was even more egregious that they used that photo.
@@evening6402 oh my god, that is just… awful. I’m sure they weren’t thinking “straight” at the time, what with everything going on… but wow. That’s terrible. I understand where you’re coming from, and frankly I agree.
Such a shame. People just don’t realize how deadly heat is.
Yeah, 'It's going to be 110 degrees plus outside in a hot desert environment. Let's go hiking!!' Even reptiles are smarter than this to get out of the heat during the day.
Why would anyone go hiking in temps like this… no one is to blame for this except for her parents. Her parents should have known better.. it’s just plain lack of common sense…
Had a family friend had to listen to his sister pass on hike to cinder cone san gorgonio on one of hottest days its a great hike in winter her and her husband both highly degreed education were found only 300 yards from vehicle but they were disoriented sorry to hear others bless ALL
My prayers are with family
Loss of life is a terrible thing. My condolences. But, please people, use common sense. If you can’t swim dont go boating without a life jacket, etc.
Tragic but very very avoidable. My entire family sends their condolences.❤
Wow the reporter was really saddened by this tragedy.
I worked outside in summers from 95 to 115 you have to get acclimated to it, and that does not mean get in your car and drive to the store and go inside. This is the behavior that gets people in trouble. Being in it does not mean you can work in it.
Record heat? Lets go for a hike in it, what could happen? Stupid can be lethal.
Hikers didn’t have the proper essentials to be hiking.
How sad. I have been reading about Utah deaths a lot. I remember a young woman from my state lost her life hiking in Arizona in the heat. What a tragedy
Sad and perplexing. This sounds like an old person talking, however, we used to know better. Hiking the desert during summer is like hiking the mountains during winter, loads of life and death considerations before hand, from external coverings to sustenance. Folks go out on these day hikes like it's a climate controlled walk on the track at a gym.
I just don't understand, with people across the country dying from the heat why anybody would wanna get out in it for the sake of going hiking. It's one thing if you're having to earn a living in it. Just can't see any enjoyment to wgo hiking in 100 temps. That said I feel for the young lady and her family. We might should lay off hiking till temps go down a bit or fall
Water water everywhere..
Not in slot canyons
Cool water 💧
Or how about you don’t go hiking in the heat.
No water in Death Valley or Ridgecrest CA!
@@dianarodriguez1900 Death Valley has Furnace Creek!
(and Badwater. 😜)
110 degrees 😂
This is a reason my wife and I are cautous of heat. I have an arythemia and she has had melonoma.
Why do these news channel's ask to cover medical & funeral ⚱️ expenses. even in cases where families are well of. What kind of racket is they running in bed with gofund me and likes
Hiking should be banned during the summer.
Ok commie.
When or if they wake up out of this, they are going to wish this was nothing but a bad dream.
So sorry...a great loss
You shouldn't hike during midday. It's unfortunate she didn't know any better. My dad used to tell us this when we were kids: avoid hiking in the midday summer heat because it's incredibly hot due to the lack of breeze and the radiant heat from the rocks. He also warned us to avoid known homosexual hotspots because there was a risk of being assaulted.
Good advice all around.
Total rookies. They did not do their homework or else they would have known how dangerous the conditions were. Just no need this time of year. Anybody would tell you that.
It's tragic, but most people would not go hiking in such heat. This story is really about how these people made a bad choice.
Why go hiking in that heat? Good lord.
People be knowing it's hot out
RIP, wishing a speedy recovery for the parents.
I always avoid doing anything outdoors during the summer. I wait for winter or spring to come.
I’m so sorry for their loss. Sending good thoughts their way.
Prayers for those healing and for all the families and loved ones.
People are right in the comments, there is no excuse not to carry water.
I worry about this and my kids are probably sick of me.
I have a bunch of kids, teens and young single adults. I keep warning them almost daily to always carry extra water and not to rely on cell phones for coms. We recently did an activity that required hiking and I made sure there were enough 2-way radios to go around.
Here in Utah, this is the time of year to enjoy our higher mountains and canyons, that are much cooler and most have water you could use in a pinch. Save our lower and southern wilderness for fall and spring.
If you just have to go explore the hotter dessert, take your water, radio or sat coms and binge watch TH-cam videos on desert survival.
I don't know for certain but I would bet more people die here from heat than lightning yet we tend to respect lightning more than our heatwaves.
If you carry water and get lost, your water will run out eventually. Please don’t say there is no excuse like you are scolding someone. They did not wake up that morning thinking it would be their last day on Earth from getting lost.
@@TheQueensWish I was just sharing my thoughts as a father of 5 adventurous kids and being one that likes to go out myself.
Water is life and even a quart buys time for people to find you. I take extra water just hiking up into the hills by my house, a place I know very well. What if I get up there and twist an ankle or something?
Again my real recommendation would be for people to put a little fanny pack or camel pack together. Basic stuff, a fire starter, signal mirror and radio coms. There are so many others carrying the cheap FRS/GMRS radios now, chances are you could reach somebody. Or better yet if you are really into it, pick up a cheap satellite coms system like the Bivy-Stick.
There is nothing that can be done for what has already happened but maybe, just maybe someone will read these comments and next time they want to go out they might think to themselves, "I remember that kook on the Internet saying I should be a little prepared... Might not be a bad idea..."
There have been so many of these this year all over the Mojave Desert and Arizona. It doesn't hurt to refresh our dessert survival skills a little. Information is power and education saves lives.
Okay, got my latte, salted chocolate covered nuts and water bottle - let's go hiking!
For a lot of Americans, if you don't understand heat or been taught about hot and cold weather dangers and how to diagnose them then how would she know anything. Additionally, if she has never hiked or does not have any experience hiking she again would not know how to calculate how much water to take. Lastly, if she did not know specifics about the region she was in and how the hot and cold impacts you, there again she wouldn't know what to do. Heat in Florida is fastly different than the heat in say Utah or Arizona. Not necessarily her fault if she didn't know the dangers. Sounds like a tragic accident. Easy to sit back and be the Monday morning quarterback if you know the dangers. Sounds like this poor woman had no clue.
A lot of people die every year from heat exposure. People don;'t think it will happen to them.
People with slight constitution's like that need to be more careful, such a rugged environment is not meant to be treated with such disregard. I do well in hot environments and even prefer them, but it can still catch up fast to people like me.
How terribly sad!!!!!
People immigrate here not understanding the climate of both the summers and the winters and then tragedies like this happen.
I live outside of Vegas. This happens more then people know. We have some of the most beautiful places to hike, including areas on the Utah Nevada border. People that come here to visit or have moved here don't realize just how dangerous it can be. This summer we have had record breaking heat. If you are not used to it, it can be deadly. My heart goes out to these families. May they find peace.💔😢
I wonder if they took water with them.
Darwin awards.
Better have insurance if you're going hiking in extreme weather, very stupid decision!!
They don't understand that you are not physically able to carry enough water in some extreme scenarios.
110 degree hike, take extra water because mother nature will kick your butt every time.
The problem is people watch a few movies about the wilderness or a few TH-cam videos and think they know what they’re doing
This gave me an uneasy feeling. 😢 I get those sometimes. So I went and watched the long version and they said the investigators were getting very little details about what happened at this time. Which again made feel a certain way. Prayers for this family.
Modified weather is the most dangerous
Unbelievable that anyone is so unaware of the seasons, weather warnings and etc!!!
How tragic... Prayers
Hiking in that area during this time of year is not advisable for most people.
If you do go out, early morning hikes are best, end around 10 am. Please be careful everyone. 🙏
How sad. Growing up in Tennessee, where it's 97 degrees and 97 percent humidity taught me to stay inside in the hottest part of the day in summer. Same here. I don't understand all these people wanting to hike in the desert when it's 100° out.
religious people and their fatalistic attitude about life.
I am not normally against religious people but the degree to which they place the safety of their lives and others into "the hands of God" is incredibly dangerous.
Don’t hike in the summer ….
Why in the world would anyone go hiking in 100+ degree heat? That's just ignorant. 🙄
It's summer. Stay out of the desert after 10:am! But seriously. Stay away altogether! It's much too hot! Pray for the parents.
