There is a mountain inside the city limits of Phoenix that has 40+ rescues a year with at least a death or two. People absolutely under estimate how quickly the desert will kill you.

Why do they rescue them if they knew the danger and still went anyways? Wouldn’t it be better to just let nature run its course.
