A Southern California outdoor enthusiast<\/a> died Tuesday after collapsing following an hours-long hike in Death Valley National Park, the world’s hottest place.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Times reported Friday that 71-year-old Steve Curry died of what officials believe were heat-related causes. His death occurred just hours after speaking to a Times reporter about hiking in the heat while he took a break for some rare shade under a metal interpretative sign.<\/p>\n

“Why do I do it?” he said when asked why he hiked in such extreme conditions. “Why not?”<\/p>\n

Hours later, Curry collapsed outside the restroom at Golden Canyon. A park visitor called 911 from a cellphone and rangers attempted to save him but were not able to do so, the newspaper reported.<\/p>\n

“He went having accomplished something he wanted to do,” said Rima Evans Curry, his wife. “He wanted to go to Death Valley. He wanted to do a hike.”<\/p>\n

The famed National Park that runs along part of central California’s border with Nevada is known as the hottest place on Earth and has recorded sweltering temperatures during a record-warm summer.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, temperatures reached 128 degrees Fahrenheit at Death Valley’s aptly named Furnace Creek, the National Weather Service<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

The hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth was 134 F in July 1913 at the same location, according to Randy Ceverny of the World Meteorological Organization<\/a>, the body recognized as keeper of world records.<\/p>\n

Curry was an avid hiker who had joined a rock climbing group and taken wilderness training courses.<\/p>\n

Around the time he finished his hike, the thermometer at the Furnace Creek Visitor’s Center registered 121 degrees.<\/p>\n

Evans Curry said her husband, who had worked for the Los Angeles Unified School District and as an electrician before retiring a decade ago, headed to the outdoors whenever he had the chance.<\/p>\n

“He was always happiest when he could be out there sleeping under the stars,” she said. “That was his joy.”<\/p>\n

Curry is the second hiker to die in the park this month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
