Flood Watch issued October 30 at 8:05AM MDT until November 1 at 11:00PM MST by NWS Salt Lake City UT
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...A portion of Utah, including the following areas, Castle Country, San Rafael Swell, Bryce Canyon Country, Capitol Reef National Park and Vicinity, Glen Canyon Recreation Area/Lake Powell, South Central Utah, Southern Mountains, Western Canyonlands, Lower Washington County and Zion National Park. * WHEN...From late Saturday night through Sunday evening. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, dry washes, slot canyons, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations such as slickrock areas and recent burn scars. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Widespread moderate to at times heavy precipitation is expected across much of southern, southeast and east central Utah beginning late Saturday night, and continuing throughout the day Sunday. Moist antecedent conditions from recent heavy rains will result in efficient and excessive runoff, allowing all area washes, streams and rivers to run fast and high. Flood prone areas will likely become inundated at times, and backcountry roads will likely become impassable from this excessive runoff. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
About
Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park campground sits within a geological wonder where winds have sculpted Navajo sandstone into vibrant coral-pink sand dunes over millions of years. Located about 20 miles west of Kanab, the campground provides access to the only major dune field on the Colorado Plateau, with roughly 2,000 acres of shifting sands surrounded by red-rock cliffs and ponderosa pine forests. The campground divides into two areas: the south loop (sites 1-22) offers standard dry camping at lower rates, while the north loop (sites 23-34) provides water and electric hookups at each site. Both areas feature modern restrooms with hot showers, drinking water, and dump station access. Sites include picnic tables and fire rings, with pull-through options available for larger rigs up to 120 feet. Approximately 90% of the dune field is open for OHV riding, making this one of Utah's premier destinations for ATV and UTV enthusiasts. The park also protects habitat for the endemic Coral Pink Sand Dunes tiger beetle, with marked conservation areas where vehicles are prohibited. Summer temperatures can reach the upper 90s to low 100s, with sand temperatures potentially hitting 140°F; visitors should plan accordingly with adequate water and sun protection.
