The St. George News reported on June 10th, 2015 “A family camping at the back of Crystal Springs Canyon, in a location with a pour-off overhead and a very small beach area, was caught in extreme weather that brought in a considerable amount of rain, causing flash flooding….The flash flood came down where the family was mooring their boats, [Cynthia Sequanna, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area park ranger] said, and the waters rose and reduced the amount of beach where the family was camping. The flooding came over the canyon and caused a current and eddy pocket down below.
“Choosing your campsite is really, really important,” Sequanna, said.”
