Deadly Day in Palm Springs 4/21/12

Postby halhiker » Sat Apr 21, 2012 5:51 pm

There was a mountain biker who died of heat south of the Araby Trail this afternoon and a hiker who broke their leg and required an airlift in Murray Canyon. Thankfully, we didn't have anything on the Skyline but this isn't a good start to the hot weather this year. Hopefully, it's not a harbinger of things to come.

Don't be to sure about Skyline, as of 2pm there were still 12 hikers coming up. Let's hope they've all made it safely up.
Happy Trails!
