No injuries have emerged so far, but some 60 vehicles were buried in the muddy deluge.
500 visitors and 500 park workers were marooned in all.
1.46 inches of rain drowned the region, about 75 percent of what the area typically receives in an entire year.
The storm followed major floods at the park 120 miles northeast of Las Vegas.
Ferocious floods also severely whipped western Nevada and northern Arizona.
