Here is a video that shows a tremendous downpour that occurred while a river trip was stopped at Redwall Cavern this summer. The monsoon has been awesome this year in Arizona! This one storm captured on video kind of sums it up.
The lighting is washed out in some instances here and it is 5 and half minutes long. But the best and strongest waterfalls are after the video has played for awhile. Be patient and enjoy!

In the winter of 1985 I was driving through the Mojave Desert with a friend, talking about our apparent need for new river gear. As we passed the Twenty Nine Palms Marine Base, a man unexpectedly appeared on the side of the road selling used ammo cans. My friend and I laughed wildly and quickly came to realize that the moment was "All In A Days' Karma". This blog contains the occasional ramblings of a died-in-the-wool westerner who loves seeing, understanding, and being alive upon these landscapes. I cherish the moments of bliss and irony that come to all of us as we explore the planet and its residents (and perhaps visitors) in the short time we are here.
Thanks for sharing this. AWESOME!
