It is the heat in the Grand Canyon right now, which is soaring and causing a great deal of problems. To the extent that a hiker from California died due to the heat. The 49-year-old woman got dizzy and disoriented. She, then, stopped breathing.

Also, the heat is said to increase the deeper you go into the canyon. The extreme temperature at Grand Canyon is also causing shoes to melt, and hence they are coming apart.


Anyone going into the inner canyon for a hike should be extra careful, and those who have dogs should consider the fact that the heat could also be dangerous for their dog's paws.
