As the monsoon season begins in Greater Zion, the mesmerizing lightning storms and refreshing desert rains are incredible to witness. Although they are breathtaking, they also come with a reminder to stay aware and prepared.

For those venturing into low lying areas and slot canyons, be extra cautious.
Watch for these indications of a possible flash flood:
• Any deterioration in weather conditions
• Build up of clouds or sounds of thunder
• Sudden changes in water clarity from clear to muddy
• Floating debris
• Rising water levels or stronger currents
• Increasing roar of water up canyon
If you observe any of these signs, seek higher ground immediately. Even climbing a few feet may save your life. Remain on high ground until conditions improve. Water levels usually drop within 24 hours. Despite the forecast, flooding is possible at any time, and floods have occurred on days they were not expected.
