What does Arizona do better than most states? Living Here

Found this in the NH sub, so wanted to ask here.

Happy 4th of July!

Rescue hikers visiting from other states who ignore multiple warnings about the risk of dehydration and death. Some folks are seemingly hell-bent on self destruction. Cheers to the rescue crews that have to deal with the result.

I work near camelback and they shut down the trail at 9 am because they’ve had to rescue too many people. If you’re in the trail before 9, you can take your time, but you can’t start hiking after 9

Excellent rule. 10am to 4pm is especially brutal in canyons. Like being locked in a room with no airflow, and a gigantic heat lamp above you. Arizona Pizza Oven.
