Been thinking about reasons why they would go out in those conditions. From their social media posts it seems they used the walks as a way to de-stress as many of us do.
You can imagine after a stressful week, especially as new-ish parents and Jonathan having a new job, the need to get out on a trail may have been overwhelming.
As someone said earlier in the posts they could have planned to go out early before the heat set in, not realising it was already very hot and quickly became overwhelmed by the conditions, after all this was a trail they had done before, it should have been okay.
The answers that the family need are there, it might just take a while.
His AllTrails has a different section of the trail mapped, the easier part known for wildflowers in spring. It does not show it as hiked. Where did you see that they had hiked this strenuous section of the trail in the past? To me it is more understandable if they were unfamiliar with how "aggressive" a hike it was, as LE put it.
