Flood Watch issued October 9 at 12:59PM MST until October 12 at 5:00AM MST by NWS Flagstaff AZ
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Yavapai, western Coconino, northern Gila, and far southern Navajo counties. * WHEN...From Saturday morning through late Sunday night. * IMPACTS...Flash flooding will be possible in creeks, normally dry washes, swimming holes, and over recently burned areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - A upper-level trough will help pull moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel up into western Arizona to produce showers and thunderstorms Saturday, followed by extended periods of rainfall through at least Sunday. Thunderstorms will have the potential to produce heavy rainfall that could lead to flash flooding, while extended periods of rain can lead to elevated streams, rivers, and flow through washes. Greatest risk of heavy rainfall looks be along higher terrain due to upsloping. - Additional information is available at weather.gov/flagstaff.

About
Kendrick Cabin is a retired U.S. Forest Service fire guard station constructed in the 1960s, now available for group rental in the Coconino National Forest. The rustic three-bedroom masonry and wood cabin sits at 7,910 feet elevation in Kendrick Park, at the base of the 12,000-foot San Francisco Peaks. Guests enjoy sweeping views of Kendrick Mountain and the surrounding ponderosa forest, along with exceptional dark skies for stargazing. The cabin accommodates up to 10 people and is equipped with a wood stove for heating (firewood provided), propane stovetop range, small refrigerator, dining table with chairs, and solar-powered lighting. A separate bathhouse with flush toilet and shower operates mid-May through mid-October; outside those dates, a vault toilet is available and guests must bring their own potable water. Cell coverage is limited to non-existent. The Kendrick Park Watchable Wildlife Trail is adjacent to the cabin, and dozens of hiking and mountain biking trails are a short drive away, including Kendrick Mountain Trail and trails on the San Francisco Peaks. The Grand Canyon South Rim is about an hour north, and downtown Flagstaff is 22 miles south via Highway 180.
Directions
From Flagstaff, drive approximately 20 miles north on Fort Valley Road/Highway 180. Look for the Watchable Wildlife Trail on the left and a roadside chapel on the right. Continue less than a mile past the chapel and turn right onto Forest Road 514. Go exactly one mile and turn left at the sign for Kendrick Cabin. The cabin is a half-mile further at the end of this road.
