Lucky Tourists Were Seconds Away From Being Crushed by Falling Rocks

Nature is fighting back.

Two tourists posing for a photo under the falls at Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Southern Utah caught a once-in-a-lifetime clip when a chunk of plummeting rocks almost turned them into fish food. 


From the video, it’s hard to tell if they noticed the rocks falling, prompting them to duck under water, or if they were doing that for the video/clout, but either way, they came just inches away from having the worst vacation of their lives.


Next time, limit your hike to the canyon edge.

ROCKFALL-A group of swimmers was caught off guard when several boulders suddenly fell from a cliff at Lower Calf Creek located in southern Utah, within the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument.   No injuries were reported. However, according to Utah’s Bureau of Land Management, similar incidents in the past have resulted in serious harm.   As temperatures rise and more visitors head to the area, officials are reminding the public: the six-mile hike to Lower Calf Creek is scenic — but not without risk. Enter at your own caution.   : Bureau of Land Management Utah
