Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 3:13PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT
ESFSLC The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will merge with a fall-like storm system over the western United States, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall and a resulting threat of flooding. Widespread rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is expected, locally in excess of 3 inches, particularly across south aspects of southern Utah mountains, between late Saturday and Monday morning. Expect many area waterways including streams, rivers, normally dry washes, creeks, and slot canyons to have rising, fast flows by Sunday evening. Current forecasts do not bring any rivers to flood stage, but this will be monitored as the fine details of heavy rain bands become more confident. Those with activities near rivers, streams, creeks and recent burn scars should closely monitor the forecast over the next several days. Those with outdoor plans Sunday onward that include any travel near waterways across Utah should consider alternate plans. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible through at least Wednesday. While the rainfall rates with these additional rounds of precipitation will generally be lower, areas that receive significant precipitation during the weekend will be extra sensitive to any additional rainfall.

About
Bridges Campground is a primitive high-elevation campground at approximately 8,700 feet in Huntington Canyon within Manti-La Sal National Forest. Located along the Huntington Canyon National Scenic Byway (Utah Highway 31), the campground features 5 single/double sites and 1 group site that accommodates up to 30 people. Large spruce trees and aspens provide ample shade throughout the campground. Huntington Creek flows alongside the campground and is designated a Blue Ribbon fishery, offering quality angling for brown, cutthroat, and rainbow trout. The Left Fork of Huntington National Recreation Trail (4 miles) and Fish Creek Trail (10 miles) are nearby for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Although horses are not permitted in the campground itself, hitching racks are provided across the highway. This is a pack-it-in, pack-it-out campground with no potable water, so campers must bring their own water supply. The campground operates mid-May through late September and offers both reservable sites via Recreation.gov and first-come, first-served availability.
Directions
From Huntington, Utah, travel northwest on Utah Highway 31 for approximately 21-23 miles. The campground is on the right side of the road, about half a mile past Old Folks Flat Campground, at the mouth of Day Canyon.
