Extreme heat affects everyone, no matter how experienced you are. When temperatures climb, your body works overtime to cool itself, and dehydration can set in fast. ⛰️⚠️
The Trail Heat Safety Program restricts select trails in Phoenix from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on days when the National Weather Service issues an Extreme Heat Warning.
Stay safe. Take a Hike, Do it Right.
