As the National Park Service reports 118 confirmed cases of gastrointestinal illness among park visitors, one hiker relates a dramatic rescue recently of hikers.
"Norovirus is highly contagious — and once present, it can spread quickly among participants." "I told them I could get them rescued, but they said no, they’d rest and cool off and said if they needed me they’d find me." "Another group of hikers … got sick on the same trail, and several had to be rescued."
Grand Canyon National Park put out a gastrointestinal illness alert on May 20th while also advising visitors about using water from the nearby Colorado River, side streams, pools and springs.
