Women die after hiking through park in 45-degree weather after heat warning

Two backpackers at Nevada State Park failed to finish their hike at Valley of Fire State Park, which is south of Overton in Moapa Valley, when a group became concerned for their welfare

Two female hikers have been found dead in Nevada State Park amid blistering 45C temperatures swarming the US.

Nevada State Police has not released the identities of the hikers, or the possible cause of death, but the southern part of the state remains in an excessive heat warming.

Authorities said they were asked to perform a welfare check shortly before 3pm on Saturday for two women who failed to finish their hike at Valley of Fire State Park, which is south of Overton in Moapa Valley.

A group of hikers became concerned for the women’s welfare after reportedly seeing them enter the trails in the morning but the pair failed to return.
