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
Kodachrome Basin State Park sits nine miles south of Cannonville off Highway 12 in southern Utah's red rock country. Named by a 1948 National Geographic expedition after Kodak's color film, the park preserves 67 monolithic sedimentary pipes rising from multi-hued sandstone layers representing 180 million years of geologic history. Three campgrounds serve different needs. Basin Campground (33 sites) offers full hookups with water, sewer, and electric, plus flush toilets, hot showers, and a dish wash station. It operates March 1 through December 1. Arch Campground (13 sites) provides partial hookups with water and electric, vault toilets, and stays open year-round, making it the winter option. Bryce View Campground (11 sites) has no hookups but offers sheltered tent sites with views toward Bryce Canyon. The park features hiking trails including Angels Palace, Nature Trail, and Grand Parade within walking distance of Basin Campground. Additional facilities include a visitor center, gift shop, laundromat, disc golf course, 3D archery range, and bunkhouse rentals.
