Yes, I read that. Personally I don't understand people who go out hiking in such temperatures. Anything over about 85 and I'm not having fun anymore. Thankfully I have options like going to the coast where it's typically 10-20 degrees cooler than where we live. Or going out early in the morning before the heat becomes oppressive most days. As much as we like Palm Springs I hesitate to seriously consider retiring there because my summers of hiking would be made much more awkward/time consuming if I had to go ride the tram up to Mt. Jacinto every day for six months of the year to get some exercise. (Mt. Jacinto is near Palm Springs and accessible by a tram. It's a few thousand feet above the valley floor and way cooler than the valley as a result. In winter it has snow. In summer it's much more pleasant than the searing heat in the city of Palm Springs.)Quote:
