The flash flooding poses significant risks to residents and visitors in Kane and Garfield counties. Areas near creeks, streams, slot canyons, and dry washes are particularly hazardous. Mudslides and rockfalls have already disrupted travel and safety in Bryce Canyon National Park. High water flows in the Paria River could lead to further downstream flooding, especially near Highway 89 and the Lower Paria River Canyon. The NWS has urged people to avoid travel unless evacuating from flood-prone areas.
