    Always listen to the warnings in Utah. A rain storm fifty miles away can flash flood these slot canyons. Glad she made it out

      Same thing in Arizona and, I assume, New Mexico.

      Growing up in the former you get told a million times to beware of flash floods and don’t cross water running in an arroyo or dip or whatever because who knows how deep it is.
