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
Indian Creek Falls Group Site is an established BLM group campground ideal for larger parties wishing to recreate in the Indian Creek Corridor or access Canyonlands National Park's Needles District. The site is situated in a small bowl just above the terrace of Indian Creek, offering a classic western landscape with panoramic vistas, towering sandstone cliffs and spires, and rolling grasslands. The Indian Creek Corridor has gained international recognition for its extraordinary natural beauty and recreational opportunities including hiking, biking, rock climbing, horseback riding, OHV use, wildlife viewing, and cultural resource viewing. The area is renowned among climbers for its world-class crack climbing on Wingate sandstone. Both commercial advertisements and major motion pictures have been filmed here due to its iconic western scenery. The group site accommodates up to 50 people and approximately 10 vehicles, with a vehicle-trailer combination counting as two vehicles. Amenities include a vault toilet, fire ring, and picnic tables. There is no potable water available, and campers must pack out all trash. Summer thunderstorms can cause flash flooding, and gusty winds require proper tent securing.
