Escalation: National Park Service Confirms Second Death
The Park Service on Monday confirmed a second death from the weekend flash flood in Grand Canyon National Park, raising the toll to two. The surge of water and debris swept through Bright Angel Canyon around Phantom Ranch.
Searches are still underway. Fifteen people are missing or unaccounted for, though a count on Sunday put the number at about 14. Helicopters evacuated 62 hikers and campers during the flooding.
The flood damaged inner‑canyon trails and the park’s only water pipeline, cutting water service. Park hotels and lodges closed at noon Monday, and only dry camping is allowed. More storms are in the forecast.
