‘Never know how long it will take': 2 hikers rescued in 2 days near Telluride prompt warning
DENVER (KDVR) — Two women from out of state were rescued from the same popular hiking area near Telluride within days of each other, prompting a warning from rescuers as the summer season kicks off. One woman from Ohio was hiking Friday, and the other from Illinois on Saturday, at Bridal Veil Falls, the tallest free-falling waterfall in Colorado, when they were injured, according to the San Miguel County Sheriff's Office. Ski season is over: Here's how to have fun in Colorado's mountains this summer 'This is the second SAR mission in two days,' San Miguel County Sheriff Dan Covault said in a Facebook post after the second rescue. 'I want to thank the men and women on our SAR team who are regularly willing to drop everything and respond to these rescues.' The Ohio woman, 39, suffered a knee injury on her hike, and rescuers from San Miguel County Search and Rescue and the Telluride Fire Department spent three hours rescuing her. The woman had a friend drive her to a medical center. Just a day later, the Illinois woman, 56, injured her ankle hiking. Rescuers from San Miguel County Search and Rescue and the Telluride Fire Department rescued her in an excursion that took over two hours, and an ambulance took her to a medical center. The rescues prompted a warning from Covault on how to be safe on hikes during summer. 'With a busy summer season underway, we will see an increase in people venturing into the backcountry. We want to remind folks to be prepared with proper footwear, appropriate clothing, and extra food and water in case of an emergency,' Covault said. 'For all kinds of reasons, including weather and location, you never know how long it will take rescuers to get to you.'Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Millions across the US sweat through extreme heat wave
STORY: :: New York :: Millions in the U.S. sweat through an extreme heat wave as several cities see record temperatures :: June 23, 2025 "It's raging hot. I woke up this morning, I'm a personal trainer. So just getting on the train and coming into the city, humidity was ridiculous. This is my normal Washington Square spot. I come here, hang out, and I will tell you that of all the days this year, this has been like that pocket humidity. I don't know if it's because the rain didn't kind of alleviate it, but it's like, it's static. It feels like an armpit out here." :: Chicago, Illinois :: Woburn, Massachusetts "I mean, yeah, this is a crazy heat wave we got going on. Especially tomorrow's going to be up to 100 (degrees Fahrenheit). I know we've had a couple last year, but I think this is going to be a lot more extreme than the ones we've had in previous years." Heat warnings, which began over the weekend and are set to continue through the week, were in effect across much of the United States. East Coast officials warned that, as the heat combines with humidity, many places could see conditions that "feel like" 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius). The National Weather Service warned that nighttime temperatures may not offer much respite from the "oppressive heat," with nighttime forecasts of temperatures in the 70s and possibly even the 80s for East Coast cities. Some East Coast trains were halted en route for safety precautions on Monday, and Amtrak said in a statement that its cars would operate at lower speeds due to heat restrictions. Amtrak heat restrictions kick in when temperatures are higher than 95F (35C). The company also reduces its train speeds when the tracks themselves reach 128F (54C). Health experts urged employers to adjust working hours for outdoor laborers, to ensure they had adequate breaks and opportunities for hydration, and to monitor for signs of heat stroke or exhaustion.

What is summer fatigue, and how can you safely manage energy levels during peak heat?
Summer only officially arrived last week, but after the weekend heat wave, some people might already be tired of it. That's probably because simply being outside could make someone flat-out tired. So how do you safely manage your energy levels when the heat peaks? The pace of a pickleball game is quick, but as steamy sunshine smoldered the courts in St. Louis Park, Kris Miner — pickleball coach, ambassador, and "queen" of the sport — noticed a difference in her game. "There's just something to be said for how the body overheats, and it just kind of gets you to a spot where you're not quite as agile, not quite as aggressive on the court," Miner said. Those playing know a bit of rest in the shade is necessary, but the kids hustling across the playground might need a parental nudge to relax. "My littlest one is definitely going to need her long nap," Anna Casselton said. An afternoon nap is right up Dr. John Hick's alley, as an emergency physician at Hennepin Healthcare. "A siesta, I think, is one of the most enduring features of a lot of cultures, and maybe we just need to adopt that more," he said, as he explained the concept of summer fatigue. "It's really kind of balance of a number of different factors. One is that blood gets shunted to the surface of the skin to try and encourage sweating and get that heat conducted off of your body. And that takes blood away from other organs, like your muscles, your GI tract, and even your brain." Your body goes into overdrive to cool you down, draining your energy. It's partly why you might not even feel hungry when weathering extreme heat. It's also why physical activities feel harder to do. "I do feel like the heat does make me feel just more dehydrated and sluggish and lethargic," Nancy Chase said. Dehydration is another factor to look out for. Your organs need water to function, and a lot of liquid is being used to keep the body cool, causing fatigue. That's why frequent water breaks in the shade were a common sight for the kids and pickleballers. "It's tricky because (pickleball is) so fun and you want to just stay and get it, and there's nothing wrong with that on a normal day. But a day like this, you got to kind of think safety first yah," said Miner. After powering through long, harsh winters, Minnesotans might scoff at a scorching hot day. They've earned the sunshine, no matter how hot the temperature that joins it. But living in a cooler climate means their bodies might not respond as well to extreme heat. "We just don't have mechanisms for sweating and cooling that are as well adapted as those that live in hot conditions year-round," said Hick. How do you know it's not something more serious, like heat exhaustion? Hick said heat exhaustion can sneak up on a person quickly if they don't pay attention to the symptoms. Dizziness, headache, nausea, heavy sweating, muscle cramps, and heavy sweating are all signs your summer fatigue is drifting into dangerous territory. If you notice those symptoms, stop all activity, move to a cooler place, load up on liquids and rest. Ensuring you have a cool environment when sleeping will help you feel more rested. But that can be harder to do in the summer since there's more daylight and warmer nights. Poor sleep can lead to tiredness later in the day, adding to summer fatigue.
