A 55-year-old Virginia man died hiking in the Grand Canyon this weekend. Temperatures within the inner canyon that day were over 100 degrees. This incident represents the third death of a hiker within Grand Canyon National Park this year. “That's everything from people experiencing medical cardiac arrest here on the rim to these types of incidents in the Inner Canyon,” she said. I will say, on average for Inner Canyon type of fatalities, we see typically one to two per year.
