This summer at Lake Powell the monsoon storms coincided perfectly with a week in Navajo Canyon. Some mild rains came at night but nothing terrible. I'd checked out a drainage near our campsite our first day. Then we had a HUGE afternoon storm. Noisy, wet and amazing. As soon as it slowed, I went with a few others to the drainage. What I saw was incredible! This was the real deal flash flood! We stood beside the flow a few moments before seeing rising water erode the bank away. We quickly departed. 30 seconds later that bank was gone!
