The body of a missing Arizona woman was found Sunday after she vanished when flash floods swept through Grand Canyon National Park.

Chenoa Nickerson, 33, was last seen Thursday before a flash flood struck Havasu Canyon, about 30 miles west of Grand Canyon Village, Arizona, according to the National Park Service’s press release. She was 100 yards above where the Havasu Creek and the Colorado River meet and was not wearing a life jacket, the release said. USA Today
