E. Coli Found in Water at Phantom Ranch

Speaking of bacteria in the water:

A boil water advisory has been issued after E. coli bacteria were found in the water supply near Phantom Ranch at Grand Canyon National Park, officials warned Friday. 

I don’t have the fondest memories of Phantom Ranch but this is not an ideal situation for this remote place deep in the Grand Canyons. Currently it’s too hot for full R2R2R crossings, but hopefully by the time the cooler temps come around and runners are heading back down into the canyon relying on these water sources, this problem will be fixed by the National Park Services.
