[quote=Anonymous]Here's some info on the inner gorge temps in the summer from : http://grandcanyonhiker.com/planners/weather/index.shtml
[b]What's the inner gorge like in the summer? Try this: Preheat your oven to 500 deg F. Open the door to let the wave of heat envelope you. Stand there. Keep standing there. Imagine you can't close the door. Imagine that heat is every where you turn. There's no escape. There's no shade. Even the night radiates relentless heat. That's the Inner Gorge Grand Canyon in the summer. Is your body prepared for that? Are you prepared for that?

Desert adaptation. Just as body physiology adapts to altitude, your body adapts to desert conditions. Your body learns how to use fluids more effectively. Your body learns how to sweat more effectively. Desert adaptation takes about two weeks.

How does your body react to desert conditions? You must learn how your body reacts to desert conditions. This includes leaning the warning signals of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The Grand Canyon is unique in that within a few hours your concerns can shift from the possibility of heat stroke to the possibility of hypothermia.[/b][/quote]
