Flood Watch issued July 19 at 11:13PM MST until July 21 at 12:00AM MST by NWS Tucson AZ
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Portions of Southeast Arizona including Graham, Greenlee, Cochise and Santa Cruz counties. * WHEN...From Noon MST Monday afternoon through Midnight MST Monday night. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - The combination of ample moisture across Southeast Arizona and an upper-level disturbance moving into the area from New Mexico today will result in widespread showers and thunderstorms... especially east and south of Tucson. These storms will be capable of producing heavy rainfall, with localized rainfall amounts between 1 and 3 inches. Given how saturated soils are across the area from storms over the past week, there is an increased potential for rainfall runoff to produce flash flooding. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
About
At 9,000 feet elevation, KP Cienega ranks among the highest campgrounds in Arizona, delivering welcome relief from the desert heat. This small, primitive campground tucked into the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests features just five single-unit sites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring with cooking grill. A vault toilet serves the campground, but there is no potable water available. The real draw here is access to backcountry. The KP Trailhead sits directly adjacent to the campground, launching hikers and backpackers onto the KP Trail (#70), which traces the South Fork of KP Creek for 9 miles as it descends into the Blue Range Primitive Area. Elk, mule deer, and wild turkey frequent the surrounding meadows and forests. The nearby Hannagan Meadow Resort offers a lodge and restaurant for those seeking amenities beyond the campground.
Directions
From Alpine, drive 27 miles south on US Highway 191 past Hannagan Meadow Resort to a sign pointing to KP Cienega. Turn east (left) onto the access road and drive 1.3 miles to the campground.
