91. Hiking the Grand Canyon: How to Prevent a Catastrophe

In this episode, we have a special guest - our very own daughter, who undertook an extraordinary feat by hiking the Grand Canyon National Park from the top to the bottom at the Colorado River and then back up! 

As temperatures soar and heat-related incidents in our national parks become more prevalent, this interview is a timely and crucial conversation. Our daughter shares her eye-opening experience of navigating the challenging terrain and scorching conditions of the Grand Canyon, highlighting the significance of adequate hydration and essential safety measures.

Through her compelling account, she sheds light on the potential dangers of hiking in extreme heat and the importance of being prepared for any unforeseen circumstances. Her insights into the significance of staying hydrated, recognizing early signs of dehydration, and carrying the right gear can be life-saving for anyone planning to embark on a similar adventure.

We also update you on Jeff’s recovery from open heart surgery and talk about hiking in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

Thanks for joining us. Until next time, let us honor those who have lost their lives by learning from their experiences and striving to prevent similar incidents in the future. Proper preparation, hydration, and a keen understanding of our own physical limits can significantly reduce the risk of heat-related accidents.
