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
Devils Canyon Campground occupies a scenic position at 7,400 feet elevation in the Abajo Mountains of southeastern Utah. The 42 single-family sites are spread across North and South loops, each with paved parking spurs, a picnic table, and fire ring. Ponderosa pines, pinyon pines, and junipers provide limited shade throughout the campground. Summer days are warm while evenings cool significantly at this elevation. The campground operates seasonally from April through September 30. Drinking water is available from a hand pump June through September only; outside this window, campers must bring their own water. Vault toilets are provided year-round. Firewood availability is limited, and campers are encouraged not to transport firewood to prevent pest spread. Sites 1-5 and 8-16 feature paved areas around amenities for accessibility. The location offers excellent access to southeastern Utah attractions. Canyonlands, Arches, and Mesa Verde National Parks are all within reasonable driving distance, as are Dark Canyon Wilderness and Edge of the Cedars State Park in Blanding. The Abajo Loop State Scenic Backway passes directly by the campground, climbing from desert floor to peaks over 10,000 feet with panoramic overlooks. Note that this byway is not recommended for large RVs.
Directions
Located 13 miles south of Monticello, Utah and 9 miles north of Blanding, Utah on US Highway 191. The campground is approximately 1/4 mile off the highway.
