Man who died on trail had been on a trip to scatter father’s ashes in Sierra Nevada
A man whose body was found in Utah’s Arches National Park had been on a trip to spread his father’s ashes in the Sierra Nevada near Reno, family members said Tuesday.James Bernard “Jimmy” Hendricks, 66, of Austin, Texas, 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.
His sisters believe he went on a long hike on the morning of July 29 — the last day he was seen alive — then died during a second hike that day. Temperatures in the area topped 100 degrees on July 29. “It was just a horrible crushing blow to everybody,” she said. “He was the quintessential nature boy who went everywhere and did everything. He was so strong.”
The sisters said Hendricks was traveling from Austin to the Reno area, where he planned to scatter the ashes on a favorite peak of their father’s.
