An old woman felt dizzy then passed out while hiking the Go John Trail in Cave Creek Regional Park in Arizona.
The woman started the 5.8-mile loop hike earlier in the day when the weather was mild. But the sun became stronger the longer the day went. Eventually, the temperatures were warm and dehydration became a problem.
Another factor in the incident was the woman recently moved to Arizona and wasn’t acclimatized to the warm temperatures and dry weather.
The fire department was called out to rescue the woman. They provided her water and she was able to walk out on her own. Firefighters escorted the woman out as a precaution.
