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.

My best friend, Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks Have a happy day! Keep it up! +thumb up3!
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!
Danm!!! That was incredible! Thank you for posting! Ive always wondered why they called it that!!! (Iceberg Canyon). I love the Raven caw at the end!
Still cool! :D Blessings All!
Geoengineering gone WILD!
Very cool video. Fall into that, figure on dying! Excellent quality (landscape video, steady, good framing, etc).
Where I live in the south Pacific. Some of the state highways have water height boards above them. If it rains heavy. It will be over the road height!
Run run don't just sit in that tent kids!!!!!
la force de la nature
20,000 gals.per second.
Umm! Don’t know why those people didn’t try to get out of that box canyon that they are in! I guess they didn’t realize of how much danger they are in! 😐😐😮😮
Insane footage
That is insane!
Awesome video 📹 👏 👌
wow that was incredable
Presiosa aventura
What beautiful place
Great Fishing There Right Now...
Funny, the spray from that waterfall looks a lot like a dusty road
Meesho 😁
Makes me miss Lake Powell. Spent 3 days there with my family last summer. Unreal beauty!!!
Camping, the scenery in the UK everything is green and leafy but, i would love to camp here as its a totally different environment with rocky browns and huge sky
Camping next to a river? Daft.
Man. Would be packing up my tent and equipment moving it all to higher ground while still videoing. Just saying. Thanks for posting this.
I want to jump into Willy Wonka's river of chocolate.
Oh yeah well done vid
I seen your tent over on that flat spot, hope you don't loose it
When post 10 unclogs a culvert 😂
Lake Powell could use some floods like that now .
How did u guys know you wouldn't be swept away?
The camera skills alone make this video great
Incredible footage. Thanks for sharing. I love exploring the end of Iceberg canyon.
Some of tyour images would make very good puzzles! thank you for showing the complete area, it is beautiful.
Oh look. The land on which I'm standing is being washed away. Never mind. I'll just stand here and record it.
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 !
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Wow, I guess you guys were pretty shocked
nature's a helluva drug.
Standing little too close to the bank being gnawed at by the torrent.
@Backcountry Post. Oh what a cool video, in my backyard. I know the video is old, bit THANK YOU for this!!
Thanks! Glad you got to see it!
@@BackcountryPost I miss Lake Powell!!! So much mystery, so many memories made growing up there. Your videos are really intriguing
hop in that pontoon and go for a ride!
Idiots - no thought of your loved ones picking up the pieces after volunteers find your bodies downstream...don't mess with nature...
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.
You people arent that smart, are you? No... Not one brain cell between the lot of you.
Hoped it would be chunkier.....Great vid....no bergs.
What its just a red river made of hail in the dessert
when the grass catches of fire do you call it a forest fire also?
Beautiful

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.
