Additional evacuations from Phantom Ranch and the Cottonwood Campground were expected.Park administrators also said footbridges along the Bright Angel Creek were destroyed “eliminating hiker access across the creek,” and that certain Colorado River crossings were closed while damage is assessed.Remnants of stone bridge pylons remain along Bright Angel Creek following a flash flood that destroyed the footbridge on Aug. 29.Grand Canyon National Park“The flash flood resulted in significant impacts to infrastructure throughout Bright Angel Canyon,” the National Park Service said in a statement. “Grand Canyon National Park staff are continuing to assess damage to trails, bridges, utilities, facilities and other infrastructure.”Phantom Ranch is accessible only by hiking, raft or mule transport.
