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
Goose Island Group Sites consists of two reservable group campsites located at the far end of Goose Island Campground along the Colorado River corridor on State Route 128. The sites sit beneath cottonwood trees providing welcome shade in the desert heat, with views of Arches National Park's red rock cliffs glowing across the river. Site A accommodates groups of 15-25 people with a maximum of 10 vehicles, while Site B handles larger groups of 15-40 people. Both sites include fire grates, picnic tables, vault toilets, and shade shelters. There is no potable water, dump station, or hookups available. Site A prohibits Class A motorhomes and trailers, while Site B allows trailers, pop-ups, and RVs up to 30 feet. The location offers excellent access to outdoor recreation. A paved bicycle trail leads to Arches National Park, the Bar M Mountain Bike Trailhead, and downtown Moab. Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park are within 30 minutes. The town of Moab provides dining, gear rentals, and guided tour services just 5 minutes away.
Directions
From Moab, drive north on Highway 191 to the junction of State Route 128. Drive two miles east on SR 128 to the entrance to Goose Island Campground. The group sites are at the far end of the campground loop past the individual sites.
