Awesome video capture! There were several angles of that cliff, where it looked like a giant, petrified, elephant's or mammoth's head. Glad you stayed safe! 👍
wow we just missed this. We started our trip on Oct 10th and got off on the 25th - had some rain but no waterfalls but saw some recent flash flood damage in a few places. Glad you were safe.
Our trip was camped at mile 21 when this video was shot, not a cloud in the sky, funny how 20ish miles can be so different. Great work TLs going to the boats.
So lucky! I’d be panicking. Especially if the kids were with us. I’m the one that yells at my family to leave when high tide is approaching when we are in a cliff cavern area lol. All three (including hubby) do the most stupid and dangerous things. 🤣
Now you can imagine how Colonel Powell and his men experienced it before the Hoover Dam was built (sorta). It was much rougher without the dam of course, but he described the water shooting off the cliffs everywhere in a large downpour.
@@jerrysagers5923 No. Powell was the first to go down the Colorado River in the 19th century, before the Hoover dam existed. He wrote about the waterfalls pouring into the river during heavy downpours. The river was much wilder then due to the lack of a dam, so it was quite adventurous of him and his men to make the trip, with no way out once they entered.
Hello BikeFlagAZ, would it possible to contact you regarding one of your videos i.e via mail? I would love to discuss a permission to use it if this is possible. Greetings!
Hardly. This occurred less than one mile away in nearly identical circumstances: “Grand Canyon National Park officials on Friday identified a Michigan woman as the person found dead in frigid water after a flash flood swept through a commercial rafting group's overnight camp site along the Colorado River.”
Really nice footage, Dave! And a complete timeline of sunny to evacuation. Definitely THE memory of the trip!
First of all, I'm glad everyone is okay. And, what a wonderful experience you had. This is a really cool video. I watched it all nervously.😅
I was there on the Can-Ex trip immediately prior to yours; this is dramatic footage and I'm glad everyone is safe. Thanks for posting.

That's pretty intense! We camped at Eminence Break on a river trip in 2017. That was a lot of water coming off the cliffs!

That looks prehistoric dinosaur era.
So happy everyone was safe!
OMG.....Mother Nature working as usual.....

Ancient city of EGYPT IS GRAND CANYON FULL OF GIANTS AND WRAPPED UP LIKE MUMMYS BASICCALY KINGS AND QUEENS OF AMERICAS

Wonderful experience. I rafted the canyon in 88 and 90. Happy to see everyone is alright.
It was my first trip, and quite the sight to see and experience.
That was beautiful but big D.Take care.

It's remarkable that given the situation some of the people in your camp were nonchalantly gathering belongings instead of evacuating.
Now you can imagine how Colonel Powell and his men experienced it before the Hoover Dam was built (sorta). It was much rougher without the dam of course, but he described the water shooting off the cliffs everywhere in a large downpour.
They are above the Hoover dam. You are thinking of Glen Canyon Dam, which created Lake Powell.

I’ll mark that off my bucket list no camping for me at the Grand Canyon

What is the name of that camp?
Eminence Camp
I bet the donkey trail still smells like Corona after this. 🍻🤣🤣
Where the hell was Marty?
So why wait get tents and go
Tents are easily replaced. Forget the gear and get to safety.
I wonder if anyone has ever taken a look at that Canyon and thought, "Wow that's grand!"
You don't waste your time packing camp - you get your ass to high ground
Don't camp in washes. Looks like they were safe where they were.
Over reacting

This is a place where miscalculation gets people killed. It’s better to over react than to wish you’d moved sooner.
Damn that water looks wet. Best canyon video I've seen in quite a while. Byah!
