On the afternoon of Monday, September 14, 2015 southwestern Utah received heavy rain. Storms arrived between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m and dropped 0.63” in Zion National Park causing flash floods including in a small canyon called Keyhole Canyon. Park rangers received a report of a group of seven people canyoneering in Keyhole Canyon that had not returned to their car Monday evening. A search began Tuesday morning. As the search continued for the missing hikers, high water levels and continued rain showers posed further flash flooding concerns. • Keyhole Canyon is a short, narrow slot canyon located on the east side of Zion National Park. A permit is required for traveling through Keyhole Canyon and individuals must complete several short rappels under 30 feet and swim through several pools of water. The group of seven hikers — six from California — had been planning their descent into the canyon for months. Gary Favela, Don Teichner, Muku Reynolds, Steve Arthur, Linda Arthur, Robin Brum, and Mark MacKenzie had extensive hiking experience. Less than an hour after the California group received a permit to Keyhole, the weather service raised the chance of rain to 50%. At the Zion visitor center, a ranger wrote on a cardboard sign near the wilderness desk that flash flooding that day was probable. Rangers also informed people verbally when they sought permits later in the day. Twenty minutes later, the weather service issued a flash flood warning for southeast Zion, the area that includes Keyhole. At this point, the warning would be too late for the canyoneers in Keyhole to receive it. • • 0:00 Introduction • 0:41 Zion National Park • 2:55 The Valencia Hiking Club Zion Tragedy • 12:35 The Recovery • 15:06 The Aftermath • 17:42 Conclusion/Survival Tips • If you haven't yet, please subscribe by clicking here: / @outdoordisasters • Much of the script and information was sourced from this article: • https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor... • Merch now available! https://outdoordiasters.creator-sprin... • Music by Scott Buckley Omega • DISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos fall within the guidelines of fair dealing/fair use.
