While in Southern UT, we took a drive up Red Canyon, which is outside of Bryce. As we drove up, we could see a dark storm ahead, and as we drove into the darkened skies and the rain, we noticed the fierce rushing waters in which is usually a completely dry riverbed. In a few minutes time the desert had turned into a river. The water was so muddy red, and the campers on the opposite side of the riverbed were trapped. It was a really cool storm, but amazing how scary things can turn in only a few moments.

| We had to wait in a long line of cars for awhile, and then as we got further up the canyon, we realized why. |
a mudslide! Half the road was filled with mud and rocks, so each lane had to take turns either going up or down. I was surprised that an HP was already there to direct traffic.
About 4 hours later, we drove back down that same canyon, and there was hardly evidence of the earlier storm.
...mother nature at her best...
