Summary[edit]

Description

(2848 x 4288) View up Bright Angel Creek from the campground bridge during a flash flood that took place on September 9, 2011. This spot is just below Phantom Ranch. NPS Photo by Erin Whittaker.

Flash floods can occur at any time of the year. When hiking in the canyon, be alert for the possibility of flash flooding anytime that rainfall is forecast. Be especially cautious from July to mid-September when severe thunderstorms can develop rapidly. Never camp in a dry wash. If you must camp near a wash, camp as high as possible and check for indications of past high water, such as stains on rock walls and debris lines.
