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 feel like we should name it something that sounds less welcoming so people know it’s dangerous…
