Description
At Red Rocks National Conservation Area, lowering clouds bring the threat of flash flooding in the desert. Copious rain storms dump so much water that the hardpacked desert soils cannot absorb it and it results in flash floods that can happen at any time after heavy rainfall and quickly, even if it is not raining yet in your location. Flash flood conditions in desert landscapes may happen when heavy rainfall is not soaked into the desert sands. These conditions may become dangerous if you encounter fast-moving, high water.
