Dozens of people were evacuated Saturday from Grand Canyon National Park after parts of the canyon were struck by flash flooding. Bright Angel Canyon was hit by flash floods Saturday afternoon, according to the National Parks Service (NPS), but no injuries were reported. The NPS said it was conducting an aerial evacuation of “approximately 50 individuals” in the Phantom Ranch area. In a social media post, the NPS said “the entirety of the North Kaibab Trail and Phantom Ranch are closed until further notice.”

The Phantom Ranch is a historic and extremely popular lodge close to the bottom of the Grand Canyon by Bright Angel Creek. Park officials asked people to stay away from the closed areas and said the operator of the lodge, which is usually fully booked months in advance, will inform guests about the state of their reservations. Grand Canyon National Parked ranked fourth-most visited national park in the United States with 4,430,653 recreational visits in 2025.

At the request of the Alaska State Troopers, Alaska Air National Guardsmen of the 176th Wing rescued an injured hiker from steep terrain in the Hatcher Pass area, approximately 40 miles north of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Aug. 18. When the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center received the request for assistance, an HH-60W Jolly Green II aircrew assigned to the 210th Rescue Squadron was conducting a training mission in the area with Guardian Angel personnel from the 212th Rescue Squadron already aboard. The aircrew quickly transitioned from training to the rescue mission. After locating the injured hiker, the Guardian Angels conducted hoist operations to extract the individual from the mountainside. The hiker was transported aboard the HH-60W to Mat-Su Regional Medical Center in Palmer.
