Triple-digit temperatures hit the Valley for the first time this year. Hikers hit the trails early Sunday morning, trying to beat the heat before it cranks up. MORE ⬇️
As more triple-digit heat comes, the city of Phoenix said they'll be closing three of Phoenix's most popular trails when the National Weather Service issues an excessive heat warning, as they did last year. This includes all trails associated with Piestewa Peak trailhead and Camelback Mountain's Echo and Cholla trails. The closures will be from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
According to the city, there were 99 rescues in 2020 at Camelback Mountain and Piestewa Peak combined. The number of rescues went down to 81 in 2021 and then 74 in 2022. “Please, know your limits, maybe turn around, do an easier hike. Hydration starts the day before. Really make sure you’re drinking lots of water,” Waltz said.
