Pipeline Break in the Grand Canyon and Heat Advisory

The National Park Service released a report this morning that the Trans-Canyon Water Pipeline has suffered a series of breaks, and Phantom Ranch (located at the bottom of the canyon) is currently experiencing a water shortage. The NPS expects repairs to be completed on Saturday, June 29, but in the meantime, those who are hiking the Bright Angel Trail need to be prepared to carry/treat all of the drinking water they need for the hike into/out of the canyon.

Also, the National Weather Service has released an excessive heat warning for the weekend beginning at 10am Friday, June 28 through 8pm Sunday, June 30 (Mountain Standard Time). Temperatures could reach as high as 97 degrees at the rim and 117 degrees inside the canyon at river level. If you are traveling, please exercise caution and make sure you have plenty of water, sunscreen/sun protection, salty snacks and bevreages to replenish your electrolytes.

More information about both of these events and safety tips may be found on the NPS website at: http://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/weather-condition.htm.
