Sabino/Bear Canyon, AZ - Aug 2005... Located near Seven Falls. My boyfriend and I were swimming around in a trickling creek when a black wall of water just surged on us, instantly turning the stream into a raging river. We were stranded on a canyon wall before we were air rescued out of the canyon five hours later.

  • I know I sound spastic in this video, but we really were seconds away from being washed downstream. I guess it was the adrenaline that makes me sound like a valley girl on helium.

    We were visiting from the East coast, where flash floods are rare. There were absolutely no warnings at the visitor's center, and the park guides never told us there might be flash floods that day. We never would have been hiking up there if we had known what could happen.
