Iceberg Canyon Flash Flood (Flowing Ice!) - Lake Powell
More photos and information on the flood at backcountrypost.com/threads/iceberg-canyon-flash-flood.4757/
Full trip report here: backcountrypost.com/threads/iceberg-canyon.4780/
On Saturday, June 6, 2015, a flash flood came roaring through our campsite in Iceberg Canyon at Lake Powell. Ironically, the flood was filled with so much hail that it accumulated into actual icebergs that trapped us in the canyon until the next day.

    Thank the Babbitt Ranches for refusing to maintain coffee dams built by the ARMY Corps of Engineers after WWII, on the high deserts of Arizona, the Coffer dams are the only thing that saves the Hualapais nation but, Babbitt Ranches don't care!

    Phenomenal video! Fantastic job! Thanks for posting! I’ve spent 8 days on lake Powell enjoying the absolutely spectacular view of natural rock formations from the water as well as short explorations on foot. This video resonated quite profoundly with my understanding of just how incredible it must have been to have experienced witnessing such a rush of extremes at once in this stunning location. What a remarkable sensory experience of being truly present in your body; actively engaged with the earths natural forces of energy !

    I love how (nonchalantly) your "party" of people there, wander around at 2:00 as they also "film" with cellphones, this amazing vista of flash-flood material - yet I can't help wondering why ? WHY are you not packing up your tents and attempting to "secure" your boat to a far higher anchorage (up the walls of that canyon) - whilst yourselves preparing to evacuate to a much higher viewing place - up at, or near to, the top ridge overlooking that canyon - or at the very least - preparing for what can only be a hair-raising, dangerous route out of there, amongst all those tress and other swirling debris, if you need to "boat" out down the canyon .. in that newly created foul-water fast flowing muddy river.. After all - at 2:02 (and other places such as at 5:00 ) - even I can see the remains of past flood debris - "beached" some 50 to 100 foot ABOVE your own elevation - on the opposite bank - one being that huge tree, caught as it is, in a time zone (between huge flash-flood level events).. That tree, stuck there on the other side, tells me - that at some recently past time, (as it hasn't decomposed yet) a similar & far worse / higher level of flood waters, left it hanging up there, well above the low levels of where your boat and your tents are "ground tied" to - at the moment. I'd have been halfway up those canyon walls long before this.

    I don't think it is going to happen again any time soon or if it does not very often. DuckDuckGo search: lake powell water level 2021 The powellDOTuslakesDOTinfo level page shows how bad it is. Google Earth: Rainbow Bridge National Monument, Lake Powell, UT How long will it go on this way? I don't know because it has never happened before. There was the time after Mount Saint Helens blew its top that they actually had to add plywood sheets on top of the Glen Canyon dam. They also had to open the flood gates wide open and it caused immense cavitation inside the overflow tunnels. I don't believe that will ever happen again in my lifetime.
