Havasu Falls, Havasu Creek, Grand Canyon, Arizona: Havasu Falls is a waterfall of Havasu Creek, located in the Grand Canyon, Arizona, United States. It is within Havasupai tribal lands. Havasu Falls is located 1.5 miles from Supai. It is the more famous and most visited of the various falls along Havasu Creek. It consists of one main chute that drops over a 90-to-100-foot vertical cliff into a series of plunge pools. High calcium carbonate concentration in the water creates the vivid blue-green color and forms the natural travertine dams that occur in various places near the falls. Wikipedia

Now we have a new threat to deal with. Fifteen miles from the park boundary is a uranium mine that threatens the entire water supply for the 426 permanent residents of the Havasupai Reservation. The mine shaft at Canyon Mine is 1,470 feet below the surface, and if it leaks, it will contaminate the Redwall-Muav aquifer, which discharges into Havasu Creek — our only source of water. We have been fighting uranium mining for 40 years, but we cannot do it alone, especially if we continue to be erased.

➤ Havasu Falls (Havasupai: Havasuw Hagjahgeevma) is a waterfall of Havasu Creek, located in the Grand Canyon, Arizona, United States. It is within Havasupai tribal lands. Havasu Falls is located 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) from Supai. It is the more famous and most visited of the various falls along Havasu Creek. It consists of one main chute that drops over a 90-to-100-foot (27 to 30 m) vertical cliff into a series of plunge pools. High calcium carbonate concentration in the water creates the vivid blue-green color and forms the natural travertine dams that occur in various places near the falls.

Due to the effects of flash floods, the appearance of Havasu Falls and its plunge pools has changed many times. Prior to the flood of 1910, water flowed in a near continuous sheet, and was known as Bridal Veil Falls. The notch through which water flows first appeared in 1910, and has changed several times since. Water currently flows as one stream. In the past, there were sometimes multiple streams, or a continuous flow over the edge.

Hiker Shares Harrowing Experience of Rescue from Flooding at Havasu Falls in Grand Canyon National Park

"We consider ourselves incredibly blessed and lucky, given the circumstances," Corey Middleton told FOX Weather on Monday, feeling fortunate to be alive after what was supposed to be a bucket-list adventure to Havasu Falls for him and his family turned into a nightmare.

A Utah man is sharing the story of his harrowing rescue after extreme flooding left him and dozens of hikers stranded inside Grand Canyon National Park.

"We consider ourselves pretty blessed and lucky, given the circumstances," Corey Middleton told FOX Weather on Monday, feeling fortunate to be alive after what was supposed to be a bucket-list adventure to Havasu Falls turned into a nightmare.

Heavy rains caused Havasu Creek to flood last Thursday afternoon, stranding around 200 hikers, including several both above and below Beaver Falls, according to National Park Service officials.

Corey Middleton, his sister, her companion, and her 9-year-old daughter began their hike in the early-morning hours last Thursday and reached their campsite by mid-morning.

"We were pretty excited because the weather was actually really good," he said. "We were expecting it to be hot, given that it was August in the Grand Canyon."

The group set up camp shortly after 10 a.m. By lunchtime, it began to sprinkle lightly, so Middleton suggested they all take a nap after their six-hour hike.

"As we got into the tent, the rain started coming down harder, and then everyone’s phones received a flash flood alert," he said.

About five minutes later, a park ranger approached and advised the group to move their tent to higher ground. Middleton noted that there wasn’t much urgency, as officials mentioned the flash flood was expected in about 40 minutes.

"We decided to move our tent first to higher ground. We thought that meant just moving it up the embankment because we were camped pretty close to the water," he explained.

As they moved, the rain intensified.

"We realized people were really starting to panic and move faster. That’s when my sister and I looked at each other and said, ‘We need to get out of here,’" Middleton recalled.

Ten minutes later, a nearby bridge was completely surrounded by water. According to the National Weather Service, the area received 1 to 2 inches of rain within 60-90 minutes.

"Trees and all kinds of debris were piled up against it, making it impassable," Middleton said.

Middleton, his sister, and about six others hiked two miles back up the canyon and crossed the "ladder area," which had been destroyed, to retrieve what belongings they could salvage from the flash flood.

"We grabbed as much as we could and then hiked it back down to the village, as there was no way to get a mule back up that area," he explained. "Many people lost everything. They didn’t have wallets, phones, or anything."

The Arizona Department of Emergency Management, along with members of the Arizona National Guard, evacuated 104 people from the canyon, including members of the Havasupai community and visitors to Havasupai Falls.

Middleton, who was later separated from his sister during the evacuation, was one of the last people to be airlifted out of the canyon on Friday night. His sister and friends stayed in the lodge overnight and were evacuated the next day.

A large, multiday search for a woman swept away during the flash flooding ended on Monday when authorities found the body of 33-year-old Chenoa Nickerson from Gilbert, Arizona, on the Colorado River. The National Park Service and the Coconino County Medical Examiner are investigating the incident.

As for a future trip to Havasu Falls, Middleton said it might be a while before he considers packing his bags again.

"I may have to do it again," he added, "but I don't know if that's going to be anytime soon."
