Grand Canyon Flood Claims Life | Sacramento News

A flash flood in the Grand Canyon on August 29th claimed at least one life and left over a dozen missing, as sudden downpours turned clear skies into deadly torrents. A 46-year-old man’s body was found Sunday near Crystal Rapids, while emergency crews rescued hikers scrambling for safety. The flood also crippled park infrastructure — a damaged water pipeline now forces overnight stays to halt starting Monday, with water conservation urged across the park. Popular spots like Bright Angel Campground and Phantom Ranch remain closed, and a $208 million modernization project is now facing delays. With more storms possible, officials warn the canyon’s recovery is just beginning. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
