Just moments after the Hail Storm the canyon was filled with waterfalls like this one. For reference, Desert Shield is just left of the main waterfall in the photo.

This shot is taken looking across the valley from the top of pitch 2. While the photo quality is bad, I think that the picture displays the force of this particular Hail Storm. The scary part was, we didn't hear or see it coming until it was on us.
