As Phoenix hiking trails close during extreme heat days, other cities are seeing more heat-related hiker rescues as they look for other places to get out in nature. In 2021, the city of Phoenix enacted a pilot program, which is now permanent, to close hiking trails during days of extreme heat.
Several hiking trails in Phoenix will remain closed through the weekend from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. due to excessive heat, and although closures are in place, Phoenix Fire crews made a few mountain rescues because of the heat.
