This Sunday, June 10, 2018 photo from the U.S. National Park Service shows the Kaweah River, just upstream from the spot a man was swept to his death in the fast-flowing river in Sequoia National Park in California's Sierra Nevada. Swift-water rescue crews from the park and Tulare County responded, but the 36-year-man was found deceased. His name was not immediately released. Ranger Elizabeth Dietzen says that with temperatures rising, the rivers look very inviting but they are swift, cold and dangerous. (Mike Theune/U.S. National Park Service via AP)
