Two more hikers were found dead in a Nevada state park this weekend, the latest in a growing number of deaths attributed to the ongoing summer heatwave.
Authorities said they were asked to do a welfare check shortly before 3 p.m. Saturday for two women who didn't finish their hike at Valley of Fire State Park, south of Overton in Moapa Valley. A group of hikers reported seeing the women enter the trails in the morning and became concerned when they noticed the pair hadn't returned.
Temperatures hit 118 degrees on Saturday at Valley of Fire State Park, an hour north-east of Las Vegas. Don't go hiking in the Valley of Fire when it's 118 degrees.
