Some highly localized amounts to 6-8" are also possible, particularly across terrain-favored locations in southwestern Utah, the Book Cliffs, and Bear River Range. * WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...A portion of Utah, including the following areas, Castle Country, Central Mountains, Eastern Juab/Millard Counties, San Rafael Swell, Sanpete Valley, Sevier Valley, Wasatch Plateau/Book Cliffs, Bryce Canyon Country, Capitol Reef National Park and Vicinity, Glen Canyon Recreation Area/Lake Powell, South Central Utah, Southern Mountains, Upper Sevier River Valleys, Western Canyonlands, Lower Washington County, Southwest Utah and Zion National Park. This also includes recent burn scars such as Forsyth, Cottonwood, Silver King, France Canyon, and Monroe Canyon. * WHEN...From Saturday afternoon through Monday afternoon. * 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. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Anomalously high moisture is forecast to impact the region with the arrival of the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel. While this is expected to be a long duration rainfall event, scattered instances of heavier rainfall rates are expected with stronger storms yielding flash flooding concerns given saturated soils and prior burn scars. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

About
Indian Creek Campground is a group-focused facility in Manti-La Sal National Forest, situated in a high mountain valley surrounded by peaks at approximately 8,400 feet elevation. The campground features seven large group sites: one accommodating 70 people, five for 50 people each, and one for 30 people. All sites include fire rings, picnic tables, serving tables, and large parking areas. An aspen grove dots the landscape alongside sagebrush and pines, offering limited shade but vibrant autumn colors. Vault toilets and drinking water (via hand pump) are provided, but there is no electricity, garbage service, or hookups. Campers must pack out all trash. The campground is accessed via the well-maintained dirt/gravel Cottonwood Creek Road, and internal roads are also unpaved. Horses and off-road vehicles are prohibited within the campground itself. Popular activities include hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding on the many trails crisscrossing the surrounding valley and mountainsides. Potters Pond nearby offers rainbow trout fishing and canoeing. The expansive Arapeen OHV Trail System, with over 350 miles of designated trails for all skill levels, is accessible from the area.
