Search and rescue efforts are underway at Grand Canyon National Park to locate an Arizona woman who was swept into a creek during a flash flood. The incident occurred near Havasu Creek, close to its confluence with the Colorado River. The 33-year-old hiker, Chenoa Nickerson from Gilbert, Arizona, was caught in the flash flood on Thursday afternoon while hiking in the area.

Following the flood, several hikers found themselves stranded above and below Beaver Falls, a popular tourist attraction known for its blue-green waterfalls. The region, located within the Havasupai Tribe's reservation, is susceptible to flooding that alters the waterfalls' appearance to a chocolate brown hue.
