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.

About

Tanners Flat Campground is located in scenic Little Cottonwood Canyon, just 6 miles from Sandy, Utah, within the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. At 7,200 feet elevation, the campground is set among a forest of shady pine, aspen, oak, and maple trees with vivid summer wildflowers and colorful autumn foliage. Little Cottonwood Creek runs along the edge of the campground, offering good trout fishing popular with local fly-fishermen. The campground contains 31 single sites, 3 double sites, and 4 group overnight sites, all with picnic tables and campfire rings. Group sites also include grills and serving tables. An amphitheater is available for reservation. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided seasonally. Roads and parking spurs are paved, though most sites cannot accommodate large RVs or trailers. A volleyball court is available but campers must bring their own net and ball. Hiking and mountain biking trailheads are found throughout the canyon, with popular hikes to Red Pine Lake, White Pine Lake, and Maybird Gulch leading to alpine lakes. Snowbird Resort is a few miles up-canyon, and Albion Basin hosts the Wasatch Wildflower Festival in late July/early August. Note that Little Cottonwood Canyon is part of the Salt Lake City Watershed with strictly enforced regulations: no pets are allowed and swimming is prohibited.
