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
Red Bridge Campground occupies a scenic stretch of the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River, providing excellent fishing access in a peaceful setting. The campground has 7 campsites, each equipped with a parking spur, metal fire ring, and picnic table. One ADA-accessible restroom serves the campground. Situated just off the Silver Thread National Scenic Byway (Highway 149), Red Bridge offers easy access to the Lake Fork Spur scenic drive. Campers should plan to bring their own drinking water as no potable water is available on-site. All sites are first-come, first-served at $10 per night with a 14-day stay limit.
Directions
From Lake City, drive north on Highway 149 approximately 21 miles. As the road makes a sharp turn to the right, look for a gravel road (County Road 25) and mailboxes on your left. Turn left and travel about 2.3 miles to Red Bridge Campground.
