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
Creek Pasture Group Site sits along the northwestern edge of Creek Pasture Campground in Utah's Indian Creek corridor, a broad valley bracketed by sandstone cliffs of Harts Point and Bridger Jack Mesa. The site is positioned approximately 7.5 miles southeast of the Canyonlands National Park Needles District visitor center and 14.5 miles northwest of Newspaper Rock, making it an ideal base for exploring both the national park and Bears Ears National Monument. The Indian Creek area has gained international recognition for its extraordinary natural beauty and diverse recreational opportunities including hiking, biking, rock climbing, horseback riding, and cultural resource viewing. The area's towering sandstone cliffs and spires attract world-class climbers, while its panoramic vistas and rolling grasslands have made it a popular filming location for commercials and major motion pictures. This is a primitive camping area with limited services. Visitors should bring all water and supplies, pack out all trash and human waste, and bring their own firewood as wood collection is prohibited. Summer thunderstorms can cause flash flooding, and gusty winds require secure tent setups.
Directions
Turn west off US 191 onto Highway 211 and travel approximately 27 miles. The turnoff to the campground is on the north side of the highway, approximately 7.5 miles southeast of the Canyonlands National Park visitor center and 14.5 miles northwest of Newspaper Rock. The group site is on the north end of the campground.
