Everyone is pointing out one thing...
The jeans.
Some people found it funny: "wearing jeans to hike camelback when it's 105° is hilarious."

Other people took joy in his (probable) misery: "Enjoying the fact that you must be chaffed and miserable af wearing jeans on a Camelback hike in July."
We have this person calling it ghoulish behavior: "Hiking Camelback in jeans in the middle of July is such freak behavior I'm sorry. Get the fuck out of my city you ghoul."

Grand Canyon ‘Megafire' Explodes in Size and Is Now Creating Its Own Weather
Despite over a month of firefighting efforts, the Dragon Bravo fire experienced a surge of growth this week, doubling in size within just a few days. The northern Arizona 'megafire' is now the largest active blaze in the continental U.S. and the largest of 2025 so far. As of Wednesday, August 6, the Dragon Bravo fire has torched 130,520 acres along the Grand Canyon's North Rim, according to the national wildfire monitoring database InciWeb. This fire sparked to life when lightning struck the area on July 4. National Park Service responders initially tried to manage the Dragon Bravo Fire with a confine-and-contain strategy, but it quickly grew out of control. This week, dry heat and gusty winds stoked another surge of rapid growth, challenging crews already struggling to control the blaze across rough terrain. According to a Wednesday InciWeb update, they have only managed to contain 13% of the fire. The fire was pushing north on Tuesday, August 5, and crews deployed ground and air resources to minimize the growth of this new front. This strategy should drive the inferno into territory where it will quickly run out of fuel, according to the InciWeb update, but high heat and low humidity will continue to stoke the flames through Friday. To make matters worse, the fire is burning so hot that it's generating weather that could help it spread more rapidly. On Thursday, July 31, fire information officer Lisa Jennings told the Associated Press that towering 'pyrocumulus' clouds had been hanging over the inferno for a week straight. These enormous, anvil-shaped convection clouds form when air over the fire becomes superheated and rises in a large smoke column. If there is sufficient water vapor in the atmosphere and the updraft intensifies, pyrocumulous clouds can develop into pyrocumulonimbus clouds, according to the Royal Meteorological Society. These clouds may produce intense localized rain, which would help to dampen the fire, or create downdrafts that spread embers far and wide. They can also generate dangerous fire tornadoes. The Dragon Bravo fire has already destroyed dozens of structures—including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge—triggered evacuations, and forced officials to close the North Rim for the remainder of the 2025 season, according to the National Park Service. There have been no reports of fatalities or damages. Dragon Bravo is currently one of four large, active wildfires in Arizona and one of 42 burning across the U.S., the National Interagency Fire Center reported Wednesday. With wildfire season in full swing, federal agencies that fight wildfires are navigating devastating staff cuts. Under the Trump administration, the Park Service has lost 24% of its permanent workforce, according to the National Parks Conservation Association. A recent ProPublica investigation found that over one-fourth of the Forest Service's firefighting jobs were vacant as of July 17. The agency has publicly maintained that it has sufficient staff and resources to handle what's already shaping up to be an active season, but in July, more than a dozen active and retired Forest Service employees told Reuters the agency was struggling to fill vacancies. Climate change is exacerbating the extreme weather conditions fueling the relentless Dragon Bravo fire, worsening wildfire activity on a global scale. This inferno underscores the risks of weakening U.S. firefighting capacity while failing to reduce planet-warming emissions. At this rate, severe, unmanageable fires like Dragon Bravo are quickly becoming the new norm.

Minnesota hiker vanishes in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains, leaving wife 'trying to stay strong' for their kids
A Minnesota hiker has now been missing for more than a week after disappearing in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains, with his wife saying that she is "trying to stay strong for the kids." Grant Gardner made contact with his wife on July 29 "letting her know he'd made it to the summit" of the 13,000-foot Cloud Peak, but has not been heard from since, according to the Big Horn County Sheriff's Office. The agency launched a search and rescue operation in what it described as "extreme and very challenging" conditions. "He solo hikes, and he's been hiking for over a decade," his wife Lauren Gardner told Cowboy State Daily. "He's used to this stuff, and he's very detail oriented." "It's all definitely surreal," she reportedly added. "And I'm in shock, I think, and trying to stay strong for the kids. This has never happened in all the years he's gone out. He knows what he's doing and has the skills. I'm just hoping right now." The missing 38-year-old is a father of two children, ages 13 and 11, the outlet reported. The Big Horn County Sheriff's Office said Gardner had planned an approximate 3-day hike "through the Misty Moon Lake area, eventually summiting Cloud Peak, and returning to his vehicle completing his journey." Phone records show he reached the summit of Cloud Peak around 7 p.m. on July 29 and sent a text to his wife indicating that "the climb was more taxing than he expected and he was tired," according to authorities. "The late summit of 7:00pm at 13,000 feet was and is concerning due to the lack of visible trails through cliffs, timber line, boulder fields, and other hazards that had to be navigated after dark before reaching clear trails and safe terrain," Big Horn County Sheriff Ken Blackburn said. Police said Gardner's vehicle later was found by searchers in the same parking lot where he began his trip. "The search is rapidly evolving and ongoing in the Cloud Peak Wilderness area. In addition to high altitude and terrain challenges, difficult weather patterns including winds, thunder and lightning storms have made search efforts difficult at various times of the day," the Sheriff's Office said in a search update this week. "Search and rescue teams from South Big Horn County, Sheridan County, Johnson County, Washakie County, and Park County Wyoming along with other rotor aircraft from First Flight of Wyoming, Wyoming Army National Guard, and private aircraft" are assisting in the effort, they also said. "The Big Horn County Sheriff's Office is requesting anyone who may have had contact with Gardner, please report to the Big Horn County Sheriff's Office at 307-568-2324 or the Wyoming Missing Person Tip line on the Wyoming DCI website," police said.

Over 9,000 San Fernando Valley customers face water outage as LADWP crews repair infrastructure
Vehicles began lining up at free bottled water distribution sites in the San Fernando Valley on Wednesday morning after the water supply was essentially cut off as Los Angeles Department of Water and Power crews were conducting emergency infrastructure repair work. Over 9,000 LADWP customers in the Granada Hills and Porter Ranch area are "experiencing water disruptions," according to the agency. The LADWP said emergency repair work was being done Tuesday afternoon at a pump station that connects to a 10-million-gallon water tank that serves the area when "a valve that controls the flow of water from the pump station to a tank serving the area failed to open." As a result, water flowing into Granada Hills and Porter Ranch was cut off. Meanwhile, repair work and water restoration efforts are underway. Crews connected a mobile high-powered water pump to the system in the Porter Ranch area to resupply water to the tank. Repair work to the valve 20 feet underground will happen once crews finish digging to reach it. LADWP said that repairs are estimated to be complete on Friday. The following drinking water distribution sites are open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday:
