Hydrologic Outlook issued July 20 at 10:32AM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO
ESFGJT Anomalous moisture has become established across portions of eastern Utah and western Colorado. Scattered thunderstorms capable of producing heavy rain are expected this afternoon and early evening. Rainfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour will be possible with the stronger storms. These rates could lead to flash flooding and debris flows especially over steep terrain and recent burn scars. Also, rain over the past several days has lead to saturated soils, which increase the chances for excessive runoff. As a reminder: Keep an eye on our forecasts through the end of the week and stay tuned for updated hydrology alerts if visiting or if you reside below vulnerable terrain to flash flooding and/or debris flows. Storms across the west develop quickly, leaving little room for lead time in flashy terrain.
About
Creek Pasture Campground is a primitive campground located in the Indian Creek unit of Bears Ears National Monument, approximately 5 miles southeast of Canyonlands National Park and 15 miles northwest of Newspaper Rock. The single-loop campground provides 32 individual sites, each accommodating up to 10 people and 2 vehicles. Sites feature picnic tables and fire rings, with vault toilets serving the area. There is no drinking water at the campground. The Indian Creek area has gained international recognition for its extraordinary rock climbing on Wingate Sandstone cliffs. Prominent features include Lavender Mesa, Bridger Jack Mesa, and North and South Six Shooter Peaks. Beyond climbing, visitors enjoy camping, cultural resource viewing, scenic photography, and OHV touring on designated routes. The campground is located along the banks of Indian Creek, which flows intermittently. Cottonwood trees line the creek and provide shade at some sites. A small sandstone cliff borders the west side of the campground. Services are minimal; campers should arrive prepared with water, firewood, and all supplies needed for a self-sufficient stay.
Directions
Turn west off U.S. Route 191 onto Utah State Route 211 and travel approximately 27.2 miles. Turn north onto County Road 2382. The campground is located 0.4 miles down the natural surface road.
