The body of a woman who went missing after being swept away by flash flooding in the Grand Canyon last week has been found, the park said in a statement Sunday.
"Chenoa Nickerson, 33, from Gilbert, Arizona, was discovered by a commercial river trip near river mile 176 in the Colorado River," Grand Canyon National Park said. Park Rangers retrieved the body and it was then taken to the rim of the canyon by helicopter before being transferred to the Coconino County Medical Examiner, the park said.
Nickerson was swept into the Havasu Creek by flooding that hit that area of the park on Thursday, park officials said. The Havasu Creek connects to the Colorado River and the park said she was last seen about "100 yards above" where the two bodies of water connect.

The peace and tranquility of Muir Woods, just north of San Francisco – home to 500+ acres of old-growth redwoods – make it just about the last place you'd expect to find a fight brewing.

We share our planet with maybe 10 million species of plants, animals, birds, fish, fungi and bugs. And to help identify them, millions of people are using a free phone app. "Currently we have about six million people using the platform every month," said Scott Loarie, the executive director of iNaturalist, a nonprofit.
