Surviving Summer Details
Hiking the Grand Canyon during the summer isn't as easy as it sounds. With temperatures reaching above 100 F at midday, it's recommended that most traveling be done before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m., as to avoid many of the common heat-related injuries. Hikers should also follow the basic rule of smart hiking, including hiking with a partner, carrying only the essentials, like maps, hats, emergency signal tools, food, water, and a first aid kit. Remember that water sources can be limited in the canyon, and will usually require purification, and always remember to check trail conditions and information with rangers or the Visitor Center before attempting a hike.
