Grand Canyon Floods Shut Down Trails | Phoenix News

A terrifying flash flood and debris flow tore through the Grand Canyon Saturday, sending a four-foot wall of mud, trees, and rocks roaring down Bright Angel Creek. Triggered by heavy rain on scorched land from the Dragon Bravo Fire — which repelled water instead of absorbing it — the disaster destroyed nearly all footbridges, damaged the park’s main water pipeline, and forced closures of Phantom Ranch, Bright Angel Campground, North Kaibab Trail, and even river crossings. With more storms looming, officials warn further flooding is likely and have no reopening timeline yet. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
