[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we back up and talk about why someone might put a baby in a carrier and head out into that heat? I had my babies in May in DC and I didn’t use the ergo that summer when it was too hot because I was worried they would overheat with my body heat. I realize it’s a hiking pack, but still. Seems VERY reckless. [/quote]

This supports the theory that a short (likely morning) hike was planned and something happened to keep them out there longer into the day than expected.[/quote]

It was only in the 70s-80s for most of the morning. With no humidity that’s nothing. We frequently hiked with our babies on weekend mornings, and went home for lunch/nap before 11 AM.

Babies are often up at 5 or 6 am, they could have gone out super early.[/quote]

You are not correct re the temperature from what has been reported, and we don’t know when they left. LE initially said afternoon. Here are the readings that Sunday from El Portal, just a couple miles away, but at a higher (cooler) elevation than where they were found:

6:51AM 73F 49%
7:51AM 77°F 47%
8:51AM 85°F 37%
9:51AM 92°F 28% 
10:51AM 99°F 22% 
11:51AM 103°F 20%
12:51PM 107°F 17% 
1:51PM 108°F 16%
2:51PM 109°F 16%
3:51PM 107°F 18%
4:51PM 105°F 19%
5:51PM 101°F 22%
6:51PM 98°F 24%
7:51PM 94°F 28%

Ok I’m the PP who’s been saying it wasn’t that hot in the morning. I stand corrected. This is pretty hot. This data is different from what I saw reported earlier. After seeing this, heat stroke does seem more possible (though I’m still in the FA camp).[/quote]

Just bumping up this post from several days ago that includes the temp data.[/quote]
According to Weather.com the high temp for El Portal on 8/15 was 102 and that would have been around 3 or 4pm.[/quote]
