Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 3:13PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT
ESFSLC The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will merge with a fall-like storm system over the western United States, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall and a resulting threat of flooding. Widespread rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is expected, locally in excess of 3 inches, particularly across south aspects of southern Utah mountains, between late Saturday and Monday morning. Expect many area waterways including streams, rivers, normally dry washes, creeks, and slot canyons to have rising, fast flows by Sunday evening. Current forecasts do not bring any rivers to flood stage, but this will be monitored as the fine details of heavy rain bands become more confident. Those with activities near rivers, streams, creeks and recent burn scars should closely monitor the forecast over the next several days. Those with outdoor plans Sunday onward that include any travel near waterways across Utah should consider alternate plans. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible through at least Wednesday. While the rainfall rates with these additional rounds of precipitation will generally be lower, areas that receive significant precipitation during the weekend will be extra sensitive to any additional rainfall.

About
Old Folks Flat Campground is nestled in Huntington Canyon along Utah Highway 31, part of the Huntington Canyon National Scenic Byway. At 8,600 feet elevation, the campground is shaded by large spruce trees and aspens. The facility includes both single-family campsites and five group sites that can accommodate 20, 50, or 60 people with adjacent parking areas. The campground has been recently upgraded with flush toilets and drinking water spigots. All sites are equipped with picnic tables and campfire rings with grills. Roads and parking spurs within the campground are gravel, and the facility is accessible via paved road from Highway 31. Nearby Huntington Creek is a Blue Ribbon fishery offering brown, cutthroat, and rainbow trout. The 6-mile Left Fork of the Huntington National Recreation Trail is accessible from trailheads about a mile away in either direction, with a trail passing through the campground connecting to Engineer Canyon and Stuart Guard Station Interpretive Site.
Directions
From Huntington, Utah, head northwest on Highway 31 for approximately 20.5 miles. The campground is 1 mile past Stuart Guard Station on the right side of the road.
