[quote=Anonymous]There could be many things that went wrong. 1. They underestimated what time the temperatures would rise. In these areas it usually gets chilly at night. It’s not like DC where if it’s in the 90s during the day it’s in the 80s because of the humidity in the morning. If humidity was higher than normal the day before then it wouldn’t have been as cool in the morning. It would have been cool enough to hike but the temps would have risen quickly. 2. The couple was experienced but they had a baby. They probably had not done strenuous high heat hikes carrying a lot of stuff in the past year. They underestimated the load from the baby, baby gear etc on a very long hike. 3, They overestimated how fast they could go. The baby and dog slowed them down. They took more breaks for the dog and baby and didn’t realize how much time this added to their hike. They were too far when they realized the temps were too hot. [/quote]
