A 33-year-old hiker died and four others were rescued from a mountain range in Arizona during extreme heat on Sunday, authorities said.

The hikers were trekking along the Superstition Mountains near Phoenix when they experienced heat-related issues at approximately 1 p.m. local time on Sunday, according to a social media post by Superstition Fire and Medical.

The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Fox News Digital that 33-year-old Noah Farabaugh passed away during the rescue. The sheriff’s office stated that no additional updates regarding the death were anticipated, pending results from the Pinal County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The other four hikers were helped down the mountain and refused to be taken to a hospital, Superstition Fire and Medical said.

Authorities warned hikers to avoid hiking in extreme heat or excessive heat warnings.

“As temperatures rise, so does the risk. Heat illness can occur quickly, even for experienced hikers,” Superstition Fire and Medical noted in the social media post. “Please stay safe and plan wisely. No hike is worth your life.”

The Superstition Mountains are located about 40 miles from Phoenix.
