Safety Tips for Summer Hiking - Avoid Heat Stroke
🌞 *5 Essential Tips to Stay Safe from Heat Illness During Summer Adventures* 🌞
1. *Avoid Peak Heat Hours*
Plan your hikes and outdoor activities to avoid the hottest part of the day, typically between 11 AM and 3 PM.
2. *Wear Sun Protective Clothing*
Equip yourself with a wide-brimmed hat, pants, and a loose-fitting UPF shirt. Keeping your skin covered helps prevent dehydration and reduces the risk of heat stroke.
3. *Stay Hydrated*
Drink plenty of fluids, and consider having something salty or beverages with electrolytes to maintain your body's balance.
4. *Pace Yourself*
Slow down your activity, take frequent breaks, and remember that your heart rate is already elevated in the heat.
5. *Choose Shaded Trails*
Opt for trails with ample shade and avoid those with high sun exposure. Always check the weather and adjust your plans if temperatures are forecasted to be above 90 degrees.
⚠️ *Note:* Areas like Southern Utah, Arizona, and other deserts can be extremely dangerous during the summer due to high temperatures and lack of shade. Stay safe and plan wisely! 🏜️
