A flash flood has caused significant damage and loss of life, with one person confirmed dead and around 15 others potentially missing. The body of a 46-year-old man was recovered near Crystal Rapids. The flood has destroyed footbridges and forced the evacuation of hikers and campers.

The park service has reported that a water pipeline has been knocked out, limiting water resources and visitor activity. This is expected to have a significant impact ahead of the Labor Day holiday weekend.

Further details on the incident and its aftermath are available from park officials, who have been working to assess the situation and provide updates.
