Flash Floods rage in Zion National Park

Spry Canyon is pouring hard into Pine Creek, there is a nice fall above the Great Arch, another by the Pine Creek exit, There is one to the side of the Streaked Wall and East Zion Park is busting with them. Clear Creak, Pine Creek and Upper Pine Creek, Keyhole are all blasting.

In Zion Canyon waterfalls are all over. Employee Canyon, behind the Lodge, Behunin, Temple of Sinewava there are many ....

There was a nice one just to the side of the Great White Throne. Weeping Rock was Roaring Rock!!!! ---

The Virgin was to the brim and water was deep in the fields by the Lodge.

The rock falls along the switchback are getting crazy and there were some along the Zion Canyon road.

The East Fork of the Virgin in Mt. Carmel Jct. is to the brim and raging!

Its gorgeous in there and the Virgin River is flooding at a 100 year record!

The Zion Canyon Road was closed for a while yesterday, hopefully it will be opened up today and there will be no sign of the landslide that trapped visitors in the Zion Lodge area about 10 years ago.
