A Texas man on a trip to spread his dad’s ashes died of heat stroke in Utah’s Arches National Park
A Texas man whose body was found in Utah’s Arches National Park is believed to have died of heat stroke while on a trip to spread his father’s ashes, family members said Tuesday. James Bernard Hendricks, 66, of Austin, had been hiking in the park and likely became disoriented from a combination of heat, dehydration and high altitude, sisters Ila Hendricks and Ruth Hendricks Brough said. The victim, who went by “Jimmy,” stopped in Utah while traveling across the West to the Sierra Nevada mountains, where he planned to spread his father’s ashes on a peak located outside Reno, Nevada, the sisters said.

I've been there and some parts are breath taking but gotta be smart about venturing out too far especially in the scorching Summer months. Took these photos when I was there:

Dude is 66yrs old... Why risk it?
Well, now he and his dad are in one place, I guess.
