A man hiking in the Grand Canyon has died after being found unresponsive over the weekend, marking the third death in the national park within the last three weeks.

A 50-year-old unresponsive male hiker was found on the Bright Angel Trail in the Grand Canyon about 100 feet from the trail head on Sunday, according to the Grand Canyon Regional Communications Center.

Bystanders began CPR while emergency personnel responded to the scene, but efforts to resuscitate the hiker were unsuccessful.

It's hot as fuck down there because the canyon walls radiate the heat back out and there isn't much airflow. Which makes it nice to go in the fall. But it's hell in the summer.

I've been a few times. One of my friends was dumb enough to try hiking all the way down and up last August. Told them not to. They didn't get back out until something like 3am because they had to stop during peak daylight hours.
