Survivors of Deadly Grand Canyon Flash Flood Say They Ran for Their Lives
Authorities are searching for hikers and campers after heavy rain triggered floods that swept away a bridge and damaged park facilities.
- On Saturday, August 29, 2026, a significant flash flood overwhelmed the Grand Canyon's Bright Angel Canyon and Phantom Ranch, killing at least two people and leaving more than a dozen missing.
- A monsoonal downpour triggered a 15-foot wall of water that destroyed nearly all footbridges spanning Bright Angel Creek and caused extensive damage to the Transcanyon Waterline infrastructure.
- National Park Service officials air-evacuated more than 60 hikers and campers to safety, with survivors describing a desperate race through deep mud to reach higher ground before bridges collapsed.
- Authorities continue searching for 14 missing individuals as the NPS implemented stage 4 water restrictions and closed the Colorado River to all traffic until further notice.
- Families await news of loved ones, including New York chiropractor Dr. John Guisti, as the agency restricts camping and enforces strict usage rules for the foreseeable future.
