  • Right were everyone parks. WOW!

  • okay, this was the bottom of the Grand Canyon. No one parks there. Also not sure what bench you are talking about.

  • I have parked my boat on that beach every time I have been down the Canyon. I wouldn't miss it.

    In fact, at least a couple times, you could have rowed your raft under the falls.

    If that group had been on that beach they would have been in serious trouble.

    Of course there is no camping at Deer Creek so thats cool. Hate to wake up in the middle of the night to THAT!

  • Thought you ment that you parked your car.

  • What happened to the ancient handprints in the canyon above? They had to have been washed off.

    And does that mean this was a once in 1,000 year event? (Or whenever the prints were made)

    Amazing video.

  • I'm not completely sure about the handprints, but I think they remained intact. This can't be a once in a 1,000 year event, but I do think it's fairly rare.

  • we were at ponchos that day! Crazy! we were under the overhang...water rose so fast, trees going by, boulders coming off the cliffs and a snake falling off the overhang into camp!

    Mainers on the Colorado

  • that is awesome footage.

  • land slide?

  • Yes, that's the waterfall from Deer Creek into the Colorado River. Like the title says it's a flash flood so there's a lot more volume of water than usual. So not really out of the side of the canyon, but out of a smaller canyon made by Deer Creek.

  • What was the coming out the side of the canyon???

  • just got off the canyon. handprints are still there.

  • Yes it could.

    The flashflood that created the (modern)Chrystal Rapids washed out Anasazi ruins that were 900 years old. (River Runners History Grand Canyon, Kim Crumbo)
