Thank you for using some beautiful music... at just the right volume. It gave a majestic feeling while still allowing the viewer to hear nature's wondrous sound of the waterfall....

[@JerryArizona]

I need more classical music on these things.....

[@Diana1000Smiles]

I muted it.

[@charliekilo7122]

I thought the exact opposite. The music takes away from the feeling of being there.

[@ninez5740]

Well, I wanted heavy metal but alas what can you do?

[@JerryArizona]

@@ninez5740 right? I get more comments about music selection than anything. Can't make everyone happy. Too bad YT doesn't have a 'mute music' option. People could just play what they want.

[@vjr5261]

What is this nice music?awesome

[@JerryArizona]

It's called Air on the G string. This version is from Epidemic Sound by Franz Gordon, but it's a classical piece with a ton of different covers out there.

[@renabig7832]

all the rain we got this morning... those falls got to be flowin really great for the next day or two!! i may make a trip up there next week! Another excellent video!!

[@JerryArizona]

Thanks! And yeah, this should be prime time. I think it's still raining up there.

[@janefromthecountry1820]

Fantastic video. Thanks Tina and Jerry for sharing! Wish I could see it in person as you both did. 😮 Jerry, really loved your very last video about making every day count. So much wisdom. Its why I believe in the FIRE movement. Life is short.

[@JerryArizona]

It was definitely impressive in person. Glad you enjoyed the other video. Unfortunately, I'm not the best at FIRE....but I definitely am trying my best to make the most of what I can while I can. One of these days, I'll be exploring full time. But for now, no complaints.

[@cagrowin1962]

The falls were like... shut your music up, hear me roar. Love the mix between the two. It's funny, I've lived in AZ almost 30 years and 26 near this place. 2021 was my first year seeing it. Spectacular falls when running.

[@JerryArizona]

I kept turning down the volume on the falls. Re-upload. Watch. Nope. Still drowning it out. Turn down. Re-upload. Watch. Repeat. I finally gave up. The waterfall wanted to be heard.

[@KensGarage1]

Great job on the video. Reading the comments below looks like great timing to see and video this.

[@JerryArizona]

Dumb luck, actually. We went to Zion to see if we could catch some flooding/waterfalls (from the road). Didn't rain there, but it rained so much in Flagstaff the 89 was closed and the detour sent us right by Grand Falls.

[@CactusAtlas]

Great timing on this one! All the rains we've had certainly made for an epic roar of the falls. Glad to see in the comments that I wasn't the only one thinking of the chocolate falls from Willy Wonka. 😅

[@JerryArizona]

Funny. The flooding of the 89 caused us to have to do a bypass where we ended up driving right by it. We were going to Zion to see if we could catch some waterfalls or flooding there, but nothing. So we ended up hitting up this on the way home. Worked out great.

[@HighlanderNorth1]

I'm guessing there might be a slight bit of sediment mixed in with the water going over these falls. On a separate and completely unrelated note, I wonder why the water isn't crystal clear like my bottle of Perrier? Seriously though, this is the first time I've ever seen or heard of these falls. Is there always some moving water running there, even when it hasn't rained in awhile?

[@slpguy6026]

@@HighlanderNorth1 mud falls for sure

[@jwc1977]

Chocolate? More like diarrhea.

[@moisesm9602]

@@HighlanderNorth1no it only happens after the melting of the winter snows or during the monsoon which is right now.

[@laurad8883]

wow! that is spectacular. I have never seen such a sight!

[@robhebbs7960]

I have heard it called chocolate falls. Was just there today Jerry. How did you like the washboard road ? we are camping near Happy jack ( southeast of flagstaff ) and saw the falls were running on the news , so we bee lined it up there. You got much better video than me with my 10 year old verizon kyocera 4g phone. LOL

[@JerryArizona]

Nice! We ended up here by accident. Zipped up to Zion hoping to catch waterfalls and rain and possible flooding. Only flooding we found was on the 89 at Flagstaff, where we had to do a detour and ended up going right past this. Had to stop on the way home. Definitely worth it.

[@craigw1000]

What luck, falling water and a dry access road! I visited many times during my 22 years in Flagstaff and enjoyed seeing it bone dry, with water flowing, and a couple times during a torrential flow much greater than shown here. On one dry visit, I crossed the river bed above the falls and did a drive through the Rez, coming out at the crossing at Black Falls, then into Wupatki NM. If visiting during falling water, protect your cameras! The mist from the falls is filled with mud. When water's not flowing, you can walk right down to the base of the falls and even behind the one large boulder at the base about midway across falls.

[@JerryArizona]

All my shots with the full frame are cut short because of the mist. That thing was filthy when I got done.

[@The35speedster]

How often does this happen?

[@craigw1000]

@@The35speedster Water flows at this rate or higher several times in a normal year. I'm sure that it's totally dry 10 more more days for every day of water flow like this. Arizona's monsoon season is the best time to experience it.

[@derekdevries1284]

Amazing thank you

[@geomark8851]

Floods in Las Vegas and Death Valley and the Little Colorado in full beast mode at the falls! Quite a monsoon this year. Thanks for including the drive into the parking area. All of those cones reminded me of the area near the new fissure eruption in southern Iceland. It is generating a flow similar to the one that filled the Little Colorado valley and created the falls. Of course, the climate is a little wetter and cooler in Iceland! Meanwhile, we have only had .02 inches in the last 45 days in the Brazos Valley of Central Texas. The post oaks are brown and in shock meaning even the deep moisture is drying up. We need that predicted above average tropical season to kick in now...

[@Diana1000Smiles]

It's really dry up in west central Montana, but, I'm already hearing Canada geese going somewhere. It's nice to have cold nights, again. 💙

Such a contrast to see the rugged dry desert beauty with the chocolate coloured floodwaters of the falls in flood. Great choice of music too!

[@theobserver9131]

The scenery was really cool! But I thought the music choice was kind of bizarre. Isn't that piece usually used for like coming of age events like graduations and things like that?

[@khuuphotos]

Wonder short video. The gravel road getting there looks very well maintained, Any section of the road require high clearance 4WD?

[@JerryArizona]

Any car could make it as long as it's not wet. At least to the first overlook. We drove a short way down to the lower parking lot and it was rough in a couple spots, but you could easily walk that part.

[@MakindyJoseph]

Dope!! 🔥🔥 great views!!

[@derekpowell421]

what I just viewed can only be described as a gift of art as presented by nature...but just a taste...you can never get enough to be full...I've gotta find out how to get there...

[@JerryArizona]

Thanks! Just enter "Grand Falls" into Google Maps and it will draw up a route. Outside of Flagstaff. It's harder to catch it while it's flowing than to find it. But with all the rain I bet it's still flowing now. (And more rain is in the forecast.)

We lucked out. Actually found it on our way to go to Zion to chase waterfalls....but it didn't rain there. Instead, the 89 outside of Flagstaff was flooded, sending us on an alternate route right past Grand Falls. So we hit that on the way home. I bet it's still running now. They're getting hammered with rain up there.
