Story summary

One person has died and approximately 15 others are missing after a flash flood hit the Grand Canyon over the weekend. The incident occurred in the Bright Angel Canyon and Phantom Ranch area on Saturday afternoon around 2:30 p.m., during the monsoon season, when heavy storms poured over the canyon from early morning to evening. A 46-year-old man was recovered from the Colorado River near Crystal Rapids on Sunday evening, but his identity has not been released. Emergency responders are still searching for the missing individuals and have implemented strict water conservation measures due to damage to the park's water pipeline. The National Park Service is asking anyone who knows of hikers or backpackers in the affected area to provide information to help locate the missing people.
