What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
The park service said the flash flood happened around 2:30 p.m. Saturday and resulted in “significant impacts” to infrastructure throughout Bright Angel Canyon.
Phantom Ranch, Bright Angel Campground, the Phantom Ranch Canteen and cabins, and the entire North Kaibab Trail from the North Kaibab Trailhead to Phantom Ranch are closed until further notice, the park service said.
One person has died and some 15 people are missing or unaccounted for after a flash flood ripped through the Grand Canyon over the weekend, park service officials said on Sunday.
As of Sunday morning, 62 people have been evacuated from Phantom Ranch and the lower North Kaibab Trail, and more were expected to be evacuated in nearby areas, NPS officials added.
