Tathatso Wash during a Flash Flood Event-July 2018

Flash floods are common in the desert southwest, including Northern Arizona and within Grand Canyon National Park. This is because the arid, sparsely vegetated environments found in these areas have little capacity to absorb rainfall.

The resulting runoff moves rapidly through the narrow canyons and steep terrain found throughout the region. In many areas, even small storms can turn normally dry streambeds into raging torrents of water in a matter of minutes.

Be alert for the possibility of flash flooding anytime that rainfall is forecast. For more information on weather dangers in Grand Canyon National Park visit: www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/weather-dangers.htm
