SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A flash flood near the Grand Canyon sent hikers scrambling for shelter in rocky nooks and crannies and swept away a 33-year-old hiker.
The flow of water was ferocious but not unusual in a verdant canyon that's home to the Havasupai Tribe.
The reservation is one of the most remote in the continental U.S. and is cherished by visitors worldwide for its azure waterfalls. Flooding turned the idyllic falls into a monstrous brown froth and touched off a search-and-rescue efforts beyond the reach of cellphones in canyons accessible only by foot, mule and helicopter. Recreational rafters resolved the search for the lone missing hiker.
