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
Clear Creek Campground is the only developed campground in the Raft River Division of Sawtooth National Forest, located in northern Utah's Raft River Mountain Range northwest of Salt Lake City. The campground offers 12 individual sites suitable for both tent and RV camping, with no fees or reservations required. The campground provides vault toilets and picnic tables, though campers must bring their own drinking water as no potable water is available on site. Sites are ADA accessible. Restrictions include no horses allowed within the campground, a maximum of two vehicles per site, and all vehicles must park on gravel spurs only. Clear Creek serves as a popular trailhead for two trails: Bull Flat Trail (#001), a 5-mile route to the mountaintop with a branch to Bull Lake, and Lake Fork Trail (#004), a 3-mile hike to Bull Lake. The surrounding Raft River Division offers fishing in small streams, day hiking, backpacking, OHV trail riding, and picnicking.
Directions
From Malta, Idaho, head west on ID-77 for approximately 10 miles. Turn left onto Forest Road 548 and continue for about 9 miles on a gravel road to reach the campground. Note that the gravel road can be bumpy and may require cautious driving.
