They seem oblivious to the danger of dying in a flood in a box canyon...

I got caught in a flash flood one time, completely surrounded on a little island, cause I wanted to get some cool pictures/video and didn't think anything bad was going to happen. Never again will I mess with a flash flood.

I have to admit it looked like someone was standing at the edge of the flood filming as the bank crumbled... *Scary!*

I would have been scared that the water goes higher and very fast... I would have tried to find a higher place quickly.

Not to worry. The monsoonal downpours of the American Southwest are high intensity, short duration. As a result,so are the floods. Once the flood has remained at a certain depth for a period of time you can approach like these folks did. I wouldn't, but in the absence of compounding factors, secondary surges are unlikely.

Beautiful photography. Like a moving painting.

I almost died house boating in a canyon at lake Powell. That place is gnarly.

Y'all definitely knew how to make the best of a bad situation, when it came to gathering a little bit of the hail for ice storage, or whatever you used it for. Kudos to you!!!

Wow! Glad you all were safe. The lake needs all the rain/ice it can get.

Wow!! Must of been even more amazing in real life.! Awesome that you were there, and perfect that you thought to film it(and very good job also!!).!! Thxs.!

That is one phenomenon I have never seen before. Very interesting.

Wow -- that's some amazing footage!

It's refreshing to see a video by someone who knows how to hold a camera, take views and pans, and edit it all together. Great video of a very "cool" event, thanks!

Makes me miss Lake Powell. Spent 3 days there with my family last summer. Unreal beauty!!!

Talk about right time right place. The hail was such a bonus! And volume of was flowing was incredible!

Unreal video, Powell never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for posting

Awesome video! I have some very fond memories of a couple of vacations to Lake Powell some 15 years ago. Great times with family and friends on a house boat.

thanks for the vivid quality and narrative.

A rare event you were VERY fortunate to capture on video. Could have happened at night, or the next week, or raining/hailing so hard at your location you couldn't see it well. Fortunate indeed.

Seeing chunks of the bank disappearing is awesome. I’d be watching this from quite a distance.

Wow! Iceberg is one of my favorite canyons. Amazing

Wow Crazy, I was stuck in a flash flood not too long ago in Havasupai on the hike down - it was right before the narrow section and we lucked out not being in there. Very unique with the ice and hail! Glad you guys are ok!

Been to this area 5 times over the last 40 years love Page, Glen canyon dam ,lake Powell rainbow bridge upper and lower antelope canyons and the windy Mesa, my favourite place in the USA . I was told that lake Mead at Hoover dam took just over a year to fill, while lake Powell took 17 years , greetings from Inverness Scotland

I was in iceberg when this happened you can almost see where we were camped we were swept out and we came back in. We almost neibor ex with you guys but took the other side of the iceberg but it was worse for us but it makes for a great story and this is cool to see it from another perspective

Phenomenal video! Fantastic job! Thanks for posting! I’ve spent 8 days on lake Powell enjoying the absolutely spectacular view of natural rock formations from the water as well as short explorations on foot. This video resonated quite profoundly with my understanding of just how incredible it must have been to have experienced witnessing such a rush of extremes at once in this stunning location. What a remarkable sensory experience of being truly present in your body; actively engaged with the earths natural forces of energy !

That one rock jutting out on the left, was taking the brunt of the flood, saved that whole area your pontoon was anchored up to. If that rock had moved down stream at all, you would’ve been washed away! This is scary to watch!! Glad you all made it!!

Impressive storm! Twice I've seen the waterfalls in Iceberg canyon, and it is glorious. But never that much water, and never with dogs. Nice dogs.

You guys were so lucky not to become a statistic. I realise you probably had no warning of such a sudden downpour and hailstorm. Glad you got out, and thanks for sharing.

that is so cool to see and not edited..thanks all of you

Lucky to have witnessed that, awesome editing, thanks for sharing

Incredible footage. Thanks for sharing. I love exploring the end of Iceberg canyon.

This was great. One of the best flash flood videos I have seen.

Fantastic footage and editing into final video. I hope I get a chance to witness something like that. Awesome video 👏👏👏

Danm!!! That was incredible! Thank you for posting! Ive always wondered why they called it that!!! (Iceberg Canyon). I love the Raven caw at the end!

3:06 "yes, staying right there is the safest spot on this soon-to-vanish ground!"

Awesome Video, Backcountry Post! And what superb rapids for rafting!!! I loved rafting rampant rapids when I was younger and healthier. Only problem is when you get the "hail iceberg" dam! Then the ride is over! What a bummer that would be...LOL :)

It did look like a place I would want to be at a little more (higher) distance. Amazing though! Ice fog rising, and the rushing of water and ice even *sounded* different. Remarkable.

Awesome video, Nick! What a memory!

Wonderful footage Nick; thanks for sharing this! "On Saturday, June 6, 2015, a flash flood came roaring through our campsite in Iceberg Canyon at Lake Powell. Ironically, the flood was filled with so much hail that it accumulated into actual icebergs that trapped us in the canyon until the next day."

This just proves how powerful mother nature isand we are so weak compared to its power. I am glad you got out safely. This lake needs many more storms like that to help raise the water

Holy Hail Batman, that was awesome! Great catch.

If you watch carefully, at 5.00 a tree trunk appears having been deposited by a previous flood. It looks like it is at least 5ft higher than this one peaked at. Good job you had your boat, just in case.

What a neat experience. Thanks for sharing.

So just to give a bit of background. These people are in an arm of Lake Powell. They had parked their boat in an inlet. You are watching a flood as it enters the lake. I'm sure this storm popped up out of the blue as most summer monsoon storms occur here in the southwest.

Glad no one was hurt. This is actually pretty cool to watch.

Very nice. I’ve seen a few fun and wild flash floods, but nothing like this.

It would be interesting to know exactly how many of these it took to carve out that canyon honestly, I would also enjoy knowing how much deeper and different that canyon was after that storm.

What's most impressive is that time of the year is the driest in that area.

I was about 10 miles north of Lake Powell. It was a little different, but similar. Basketball size boulders and larger were flying off the cliffs; course muddy flows and waterfalls; and a chunk of cliff I guess about the size of 2 chevy suburbans fell off and ultimately landed at the edge of the Colorado river. The huge boulder impact launched baseball sized and smaller rocks across the river.

Wow! A lot of crazy stuff happened during this storm out there! We say a pontoon on our way out that was mostly destroyed but still operable.

Your dogs didn't seem to like the heavy rain at the beginning of your film but were enjoying them selves later on I'm glad to say!

In September 1999, I was on the Lake Powell ... a very beauty spot !!! French tourist.

I grew up in this area, you were so lucky, so lucky.

Where I live in the south Pacific. Some of the state highways have water height boards above them. If it rains heavy. It will be over the road height!

Dogger and Poochkin don't quite know why all the hoopla. Thanks for keeping them safe.

It’s actually dangerous to stand soo close to flood just because the ground is loose and it can easily go down with this cameraman. I am saying as an experienced man from Caucasus where the floods are more and more aggressive !

That water is moving at a very fast pace. Nice shots!

I could never enjoy watching people kill themselves. Regardless, as to whether or not they are aware of the danger they put themselves in, there is still an extremely high risk of getting themselves killed. The normal instinct to sense danger was either being ignored, or was supressed, either reason was probably due to pride. Proud that their video would receive high praise, Especially because they acted so "brave." Was it an amazing flood? Yes. I would have been more than able to live the rest of my life having never seen this phenomenon. Definitely.

so fantastic! do you guys study geology? what brilliant moments of weathering and erosion you're capturing! that was fascinating to see the hail consolidate in the river like that. beautiful footage.

@3:30 exactly why I’d be as far from the edge as possible. Like on top of that cliff. Scary AF.

I think he knew the risk and chose to stay put and get some amazing footage we should be thankful for instead of scolding him for not doing what someone else would have done in that situation. If there's to be any scolding I'm going to say do what you want with your own safety, but take some precaution with the dogs for the love of all things holy my guy...and I should probably say with the women as well. Still, it was absolutely beautiful footage you got. Glad everyone was safe and able to enjoy the terrain

Nice adventure you had. Very nice footage!
