It was my understanding that Pahrump was flooded out at the same time?I'll have to take a ride out that and report back. I live in Pahrump. BTW, if you ain't never seen death valley it has something for almost everyone.
We've had intermittent rain for the past couple of weeks and a few days before the Death Valley floods a storm cell stalled over the alluvial plain east of town. It dumped about an inch of rain in an hour and the rapid runoff and debris flow closed Hwy 160 (the road to Las Vegas) for a while and did some damage to Gamebird Rd, a connecting route from 160 to the south side of town when the fast running water decided to use it as a channel. Once it reached the valley floor the water slowed down and spread out, flooding a fairly wide area on the southside with a couple of inches of water for a few hours until it dissipated into the ground.It was my understanding that Pahrump was flooded out at the same time?
More clarification please.This time of year the Grand Canyon usually gets monsoon rain in the afternoon. This is how the Grand Canyon was formed. The Colorado River creating the GC is fiction.
The GC was began 5 million years ago by the Colorado. The Colorado was 100 yards wide, and today it is still 100 yards wide. The GC is ten miles wide and at no point was the Colorado 10 miles wide. All you need to do is look at most any photo of theMore clarification please.

Huh?The GC was began 5 million years ago by the Colorado.
People claim the Colorado carved the GC. The Colorado started out as a river and the rain carved out the GC.Huh?

Been reading a lot of info about it in the last day. Quite an indepth study.The story of the GC is a bit more complex than either of those statements can begin to express.
Ever see a large flash flood? It can even dislodge boulders and carve out huge chunks of land. I've seen the aftermath in a couple of places in Colorado, including the Big Thompson Canyon between Estes Park and Loveland. Over thousands+ of years that can carve out a LOT.More clarification please.
