Hydrologic Outlook issued October 9 at 10:53AM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO
ESFGJT A strong low pressure system off the Pacific Coast will begin to draw in tropical moisture associated with Topical Storm Rachel this weekend. This strong southerly fetch will draw anomalously high moisture content across the Desert Southwest and into eastern Utah and western Colorado. The chance for widespread precipitation increases Saturday evening into Sunday. Total precipitation forecasts range from 1 to 3 inches across high terrain, with highest amounts favoring the Uintas, Tavaputs and the Southwest San Juan mountains. Embedded thunderstorms are also possible Sunday afternoon, increasing the threat for flash flooding across vulnerable terrain. While confidence in location and rainfall rates remain low at this time, the potential for rapidly rising rivers, streams, normally dry arroyos and slot canyons are possible Sunday through Monday. Please follow the evolving forecast, especially if your plans including recreating or commuting across eastern Utah and western Colorado Sunday onward. Also, keep in mind weather potential above your location and upstream, particularly for those who reside below sensitive terrain like recent burn scars.
About
Bridge Hollow Campground is a BLM-managed facility nestled along the Green River in the high desert valley of Browns Park, one of Utah's most remote and scenic areas. The campground sits directly across from the John Jarvie Historic Ranch, a well-preserved 1880s homestead that offers interpreted tours of historic buildings and artifacts. The area draws anglers to the Green River's blue ribbon trout fishery, which stretches from Flaming Gorge Dam to the Colorado state line. The campground features 9 individual sites and 1 group site, all operating strictly on a first-come-first-served basis. Visitors must be physically present to claim and pay for a site, with same-day occupancy required. Payment options include the Recreation.gov Scan & Pay app or cash/check at the Iron Ranger station. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, with vault toilets and drinking water available in the campground. Access requires travel on gravel roads with one section featuring a steep 17% grade. The Green River's flow fluctuates daily between 830 and 4,500 cubic feet per second depending on dam releases. Life jackets are required for all river activities. Fishing is restricted to artificial bait only, with slot limits requiring release of fish between 13 and 20 inches.
Directions
From Vernal, UT via Clay Basin: North 55 miles on Highway 191 (just past Wyoming border), then east 22 miles on gravel/paved road including a steep 17% grade section. Follow Jarvie Ranch/Browns Park signs. Alternative route from Maybell, CO: East on Highway 318 for 70 miles paved plus 8 miles gravel. The Crouse Canyon route from Vernal is not recommended for RVs due to extremely narrow roads.
