I heard that about 500 folks were evacuated from the Grand Canyon due to flooding. An earthen dam broke. Heavy rains have been pelting the area. Water is water. How are you folks doing on water levels out there???? Are you making any forward de-droughting progresS???

That happened in supai, its and indian reservation at the west end of the canyon. It's the prettiest place in the world. Helicopter horse or a 8 mile hike the only way in and out, happens every so often. As far as our water issue, Lake powell has recovered allot this year and they are saying following a wet winter and the wettest monsoon season in a long time is helping but this pattern needs to continue with another wet winter.

this site will show you the reservation. I wish I could find the pics i took 20 years ago before the dam broke last time, it changes the shape of the falls.

its not actually the Colorado river there just a off shoot but its a deep canyon and all the water for miles heads in there. Worked there during college assisting in drug and alcohol training in the early eighties and was evacuated ourselves due to flooding. There is no high ground except straight up.

I backpacked down there half a dozen times on spring break when I was in the Boy Scouts. Then we'd hike the trail to the Grand Canyon that required about 15 crossings of supai Havasu Creek on the mineral deposit falls. Deep blue water due to high mineral content is really cool.

Cool. Thanks for the reports!

I just looked at the pictures in that web site. Not much has changed except for the shape of the falls and I'm sure that they just got chanted again. Some exceptions to not much has chanted though, There was no lodge or cafe and the fees were A LOT less!
