* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be 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 noon MDT today 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
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.
