Tragic Loss of Texas Man, James Bernard Hendricks, in Arches National Park

James Bernard Hendricks, 66, of Austin, Texas, was found dead in Arches National Park in Utah on August 1, believed to have died from heatstroke while on a trip to spread his father's ashes. Rangers found his vehicle at a trailhead parking lot after he was reported overdue, and his sisters believe he became disoriented from a combination of heat, dehydration and high altitude. Hendricks had documented his journey on social media prior to his death, and his family is asking for privacy during this difficult time.
