This includes recent burn scars such as Rocky Canyon. * WHEN...From late Saturday night through Monday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and recent burn scars. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are possible. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will move into northern Utah this weekend producing a prolonged rainfall event. In particular, moisture interacting with a frontal boundary across far northern Utah may yield locally heavier rainfall totals compared to other locations. As a result, areal flooding is expected across northern Utah this weekend. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

About

Riverview Campground is a primitive Forest Service campground located at nearly 8,000 feet elevation in the South Slope Western Uinta Mountains of Ashley National Forest.

The campground serves as a staging area for backcountry exploration, with the Swift Creek Trailhead at the end of Forest Road #124 offering access to the High Uintas Wilderness. Facilities are basic, with vault toilets and picnic tables but no potable water available. Quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., including generator use. Dogs must be leashed at all times within the campground, and no shooting of any type is permitted on the grounds.
