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.
