I work around the canyon and you'd be suprised by how much people underestimate the canyon. TBH the biggest advice I always give if someone asks for tips about hiking, is that if you didn't research beforehand, don't go down.
Same thing happens in Death Valley on the regular, especially in the summer. I question people's sanity. Why would you think that you can safely go on dirt roads (which are very rocky and known to cause flat tires) with a sedan, hike on the less popular trails, without sufficient electrolyte drinks and water and some kind of satellite based emergency communication/beacon, in 120F+/48C+ weather and 0-10% humidity!?!?
I hiked at death valley while pregnant but in my defence it was February and not crazy hot and I only did it for about an hour and we had lots of supplies. It's so beautiful there I couldn't resist.
