On August 29, a flash flood tore through Bright Angel Canyon deep within the Grand Canyon, dismantling the bridges that bind its remote interior and leaving roughly fifteen people unaccounted for. Sixty-two souls have been brought out, but the search continues against a canyon that does not yield its secrets easily — and with new storms gathering on the horizon, the land itself may not yet be finished speaking. In places where humans venture far from the familiar, nature's indifference to our schedules becomes the central fact of life.
