Plan hiking dates around the heat
Arizona State Parks advises drinking 1 to 2 liters of water an hour outdoors in the heat, getting off low desert trails before about 9 a.m. in summer and turning back once half your water is gone. Tell someone where you are going, and call 911 at once for signs of heat stroke such as confusion or a very high temperature.
