Park rangers find body after tracking footprints away from car in New Mexico desert

“During the extreme summer heat, it is critical to be prepared and know your limitations,” park officials said in a news release. “For summer hiking at White Sands, the park recommends starting in the coolest part of the day, early morning or early evening.” Volunteers with the Organ Mountain Technical Rescue Squad spent hours searching for the man’s footprints on Monday. Once rescue officials located the footprints, they tracked them for a half mile before finding the body. “Each year, park rangers respond to dozens of search and rescue incidents in the park,” park officials said. “These frequently involve heat exhaustion, dehydration, and injuries.”

When we were there, it was one of the most unique places I've been to so if you don't want to get burn, use common sense...

There are plenty of warnings so there's no excuse for folks to died on a fun outing unless they have no common sense  ???:

Not much shades unless you're in one of the rest areas:

It's such a unique place that even Hollywood i.e., Transformers used it for their scene as well as regular folks using it for a photo op to create their own beautiful memory:
