[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Twitter thread says it was in the 70s when they started out. Maybe they didn’t know how hot it was going to get?

It also said the app he used to find the hike did not show the total distance or the elevation change. Now that is what I find absolutely ridiculous. You don’t leave for a hike without at least knowing how far you’re going. And every hiking tool I’ve used shows elevation change.

A million pages ago someone mentioned there was a similarly named, less intense trail in the area. I wonder if they got the trails mixed up?[/quote]

Probably all of these things really. They didn’t know how hot it was going to get. They didn’t know how long the hike was going to take (a lot longer than expected). They didn’t know that the path had no shade because of previous forest fires wiping out most of the trees. And perhaps they took a wrong turn and ended up on the very intense and longer trail that was steep with no shade. They were both overconfident and inexperienced and it lead to a tragic outcome.
