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
Bridges Campground is located in Huntington Canyon along the Huntington Canyon National Scenic Byway (Utah Highway 31) in the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Situated at approximately 8,100 feet elevation, the campground is shaded by large spruce trees and aspens. Huntington Creek runs alongside the campground and is designated a Blue Ribbon Fishery for brown, cutthroat, and rainbow trout. The campground consists of two sections. The main Bridges Campground has two single sites and one group site that accommodates up to 30 people. The group site includes fire rings, benches, a pedestal grill, and a serving table. Across the highway, Bridges Riverside offers two double sites positioned next to Huntington Creek. A vault toilet serves the main campground area, located between the group site and single sites. Restrooms for the Riverside sites are across the street, approximately 225 feet away. No potable water is available; campers must bring their own. Trash service is not provided, so all garbage must be packed out. ATVs are prohibited in the campground. Livestock are not allowed, though two hitching rails are located 20 feet across the highway for equestrian visitors.
Directions
From Huntington, Utah, head northwest on Highway 31 for approximately 21 miles. The campground is half a mile past Old Folks Flat Campground on the right side of the road.
