"Guess we should've left" Famous last words. Curiosity is inherent in certain folks. Sometimes it becomes the last time they were ever curious. Here's another famous last word line... " What the heck is going on over there, i hear shooting but i can't see where its coming from. Hold on, i'll try and pinpoint its location".

Sorry, cool video but this was exactly what you should not do. You should have waited in the cave until the water recedes. Running out a canyon in such a situation can be deadly. Glad you made it though.

Why in the name of God did they just stand there for so long? You do NOT want to be anywhere in a canyon w overcast rain threatening skies. It doesn’t even need to be raining where you are, for you to be in imminent life threatening danger. Leave and leave NOW! Just STUPID!

Seeing this, the Old Ones strong spirituality concerning the ways of Nature, both awesome beauty and deadly power, makes perfect sense. Their rock art well defines the power behind flash floods, the long dry and the Great Mystery.

Found myself in a similar situation in the desert outside Phoenix in my late teens. Had to get out quick. The catch was that I was tripping on acid 😮. That's one I'll never forget.

Sorry, but you're not the sharpest tool in the shed if you didn't check the forcast for that area beforehand. Moab is known for this type of weather, and many have died because they ignored the danger. You were just damd lucky to get out alive.

Yeah. That would have been nice, but a simple video planned to be just for me turned into quite a different experience when the flood came. Running through the flood I wasn't too concerned about the camera angle, but it could have been better for sure.

Side note here…. We had a Shiba Inu puppy about 6 months old and one night some idiot (as usual) was blowing off fireworks for no reason and it sounds like thunder of course especially to a dog that has never heard it before…so she panics and runs around trying to climb EVERYTHING even got up on our fireplace mantel using a table! Of course she did that because her instincts told her a flood was coming and get to high ground FAST!

Ignorance of the power of flash floods got the best of me in this situation. I was out for a leisure hike and began filming simply because of the beauty of the waterfalls that appeared. It came as a complete surprise when I found myself in the thick of the flood having to make the decision to stay or leave. Probably made the wrong decision in the end, but glad i made it out safely with an experience to share. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for your video. If you're up in a canyon, under an overhang and the canyon bottom is lower than you are and the outlet is even lower, you're safer staying put. Vehicles can be replaced, you can't.

I certainly did learn that lesson! Haha. It was amazing to see all the waterfalls and scary to escape them once I realized my mistake in sticking around. I probably could have waited out the water, but my dumb brain told me that canyon was going to fill all the way up and drown me if I did. Lesson learned.

Unless you've been there, it's hard too comprehend how BIG these Canyons are. Moonflower has about a 1,000 ft elevation change. Nobody is going very far, very fast.

A short canyon with a big elevation gmin on the approach! Moonflower Canyon is likely best know and most often visited for the impressive rock art panel at its confluence with Kane Creek. There is also a BLM walk-in campground available.

Glad you got out of there in time! As for the video, it's too bad all you had was your phone, but you go with what you've got! It's kind of funny that we actually see only a little bit of flooding in the last 4 seconds. As some of the other comments point out, you might have been safer to wait it out on high ground. Thanks for sharing.

I'm so glad this was a "see what I escaped" video instead of a "this person's last moments" video! Lessons learned and all that. It's not just the water itself you need to beware of (swift currents can knock you down even at ankle height), but debris like big logs in the water that can knock you down and kill you. Stay safe in your adventures!

The instant I felt the first raindrop I would have been sprinting out of the canyon. If it looked like I wasn’t going to make it, I would have gotten as high and dry as possible and waited it out.

They were safer in the cove where they started. It was high ground. You're getting soaked anyway, so just stay put, and call the BLM office so they know you're pinned down. There's signal all the way up Moonflower, it's only about 1000ft long anyway.
