Arizona recreation area closed after hiker death and nearly 3 dozen rescues in just 2 days

Arizona Hot Springs and Goldstrike Trails announced they have closed multiple trails in Arizona’s Lake Mead National Recreation Area following the death of one hiker and the rescue of 33 others over the course of two days.

The social media post says the closure occurred due to dangerously high temperatures and multiple heat-related search and rescue incidents.

They say the canyons are expected to exceed 100°F, and many hikers are not "adequately prepared for these extreme conditions."
