With a risk of flash floods in deep canyons like the Alkali drainage, and potential use damage to wet natural surface roads and trails, such as those accessing the City Dams, it's important to pay close attention to the conditions! The already saturated conditions and forecast suggests access to the Dams is inadvisable until there have been several days of dry weather. Stay safe out there, and keep the trails in good shape!
