August 22, 2024 is a day I won't forget. For me, it meant a Rim2River hike in shockingly perfect summer conditions. For those downriver in the Havasupai area, though, it meant a raging flash flood that led to chaos—and loss. We'll talk with Dr. Tom Myers about what to do in the event of flash flooding on your hike, and also catch up with a pair of hikers at the bottom of the Canyon for an interview on their plans for a Rim2Rim2Rim—and how they prepare as flatlanders living in Florida.
