From yesterday morning! A flash flood from far upstream makes it down to Grand Falls. We were there the night before at 10pm in pitch black and heard the rush of water come down the Little Colorado. Was amazing, but too dark for photos.

This is absolutely amazing. I'd never even heard of this. It truly does look like chocolate. Now that's what I would call the ultimate chocolate falls. Every woman on earth would love that! LOL. Congrats on the AC and thanks for sharing it.
