The extreme environment of Grand Canyon is like none other, yet people from all over the world come to experience the unique adventure of hiking into the canyon. Tragically, each year some lives are lost and many rescues are performed – often because people did not understand their limitations in the harsh, but beautiful environment.
The Preventive Search and Rescue (PSAR) team helps educate visitors about the extreme conditions and provides support to those people who need help hiking in the canyon. Ranger Thomas answers your frequently asked questions in this Facebook live interview.
PSAR is funded by generous GCC donors.
