Flash Floods Details

Many of the narrow canyons in Zion National Park have a potentially high risk of experiencing flash floods. Flooding can occur from sudden rainstorms, and are often the result of unseen storms happening miles away. If potentially hazardous weather threatens, DO NOT enter these canyons. Any visitor entering one of these beautiful geological features assumes the risks. Remember, all visitors are responsible for their own safety, but careful planning and cautious behavior can help decrease risk.
