I’ve been reading the Websleuths forum plus comments on the local media covering the case. People are really thinking it may have been heat exhaustion. The weather was absolutely brutal that day and they were in the process of climbing very steep, unshaded switchbacks to get back to their car. Water alone can’t save you from heat stroke, so they were probably trying to conserve some for the moment they got into the car.

Hard to imagine a couple that hiked all across California on weekends and did a 10-day hike in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia being overcome by heat exhaustion in their own backyard.

Just saying.

Here's the temps from the nearest town, which is a higher elevation than where they were located (I took this from WebSleuths):

12:51PM 107°F 17%
1:51PM 108°F 16%
2:51PM 109°F 16%

6:51PM 98°F 24%
7:51PM 94°F 28%[/i][/quote]

This town is at a higher elevation than where the couple was found. The canyon they were in unshaded from the sun was probably even warmer temps.
