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

Soapstone Campground is nestled at 8,200 feet elevation on the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway in northeastern Utah's Uinta Mountains. The campground features 34 sites spread across two loops (A and B) within a dense forest of pine, fir, and aspen trees that provide ample shade and spectacular fall color. Thickets of willow line the Lower Provo River, which flows directly alongside the campground and offers good trout fishing. The campground serves as an excellent basecamp for exploring the region. Soapstone Basin is nearby with miles of OHV trails for all skill levels. The Mirror Lake Scenic Byway leads to numerous high alpine lakes, streams, and trailheads including access points to the High Uintas Wilderness. Hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and wildlife viewing are all popular activities. All sites include paved parking spurs, picnic tables, and fire rings. Vault toilets and trash dumpsters are provided, but there is no potable water on-site. Maximum site lengths vary from 13 to 36 feet depending on the site, and all driveways are back-in only. Bear country protocols apply.
