Hiking in Hot Weather
Filed in archive Outdoor Survival on June 28, 2008
ABC News in phoenix arizona has an excellent report on hiking in extreme temperatures. While few of us will ever have to worry about the sort of temperatures Phoenix sees in the summer, it's important to prepare for what is considered hot for your area. If you're used to hiking in mild weather, any increase can tax your system.
A couple of the tips from the article were new to me, and are key to successfully planning a hike in hot weather: Start hydrating at least 24 hours before you start hiking, and if your body stops sweating while hiking, that's an important sign that dehydration has begun.

Hiking in hot weather is a critical part of my training as a Licensed Hiking Guide. I also teach hiking to participants of the "Hike for Discovery" fundraisers for The Leukemia/Lymphoma.
I've taken 3 groups into the Grand Canyon, 1 up to Rocky Mountain National Park, and have hiked all around Long Island. One of the most important elements to staying energized, avoiding dehydration, and enjoying your experience is to constantly hydrate. Our saying is, if your pee is yellow you're not drinking enough water!
