Moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will impact Utah this weekend bringing widespread rainfall totals ranging from 2-4". 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
Leeds Designated Dispersed offers primitive camping in the scenic Leeds Canyon area of Dixie National Forest, located east of the small town of Leeds in Washington County, Utah. The area features approximately 11 designated dispersed campsites spread along Forest Service Roads 031 and 032, with camping restricted to these numbered sites to protect the natural resources along the Leeds Creek Kiln Trail corridor. As designated dispersed camping on national forest land, there are no amenities or services provided. Campers must be fully self-sufficient, bringing their own water, packing out all trash, and preparing for primitive conditions. Some sites may have user-created fire rings, though campfires are subject to current fire restrictions. The area is accessed via dirt and gravel forest roads that are generally passable for standard vehicles in dry conditions but may become difficult during wet weather. The surrounding landscape offers access to hiking trails including the Leeds Creek Kiln Trail, which passes historic charcoal kilns from the mining era. Standard Dixie National Forest dispersed camping rules apply: 16-day stay limit before moving at least 10 miles, camp at least 300 feet from water sources, and motorized vehicles must stay within 150 feet of designated routes.
Directions
From I-15, take Exit 22 or 23 toward Leeds/Silver Reef. Head west on Silver Reef Road for approximately 1.2 miles until it becomes Oak Grove Road. Cross the bridge into Dixie National Forest and turn right onto Forest Road 032. Designated dispersed sites are located along FR 031 and FR 032.
