Nice, I have crossed that many times this Summer.
It's been running 1-2" deep and 2-3' across

I don't know about you, but whoever filmed this seems to be way too close to the edge in the first part...doesn't take much to undercut those clay/sand banks.

Anyhow, sure hope no one was in the narrows when this hit...

Yeah that's what I kept thinkin... scary stuff.

That flood was moving really fast in the center... wow

It reached 2000 cfs that day....that is what the Colorado River in Moab is currently flowing.

Awesome power of erosion. I hope to be hiking the Paria the first week in October. Is this location just south of the Highway 89 bridge?

Wow, what a debris in the river.
Thx for sharing.
3 years ago I saw a flash flood of the Paria near White House, after a short and heavy t-storm - w/o that debris.
