What the National Weather Service wrote

The Pagosa Ranger District in the San Juan National Forest reported at least three instances of flooding on Piedra Road (CR 600) north of the Turkey Springs Trailhead. The flooding was the result of rapid runoff from snowmelt.

The wider storm

Above normal temperatures accelerated snowmelt from a near-record snowpack. This resulted in high and fast flows on several rivers and drainages across Western Colorado. The increased runoff and flooding compromised several county roads and bridges across Montezuma, Archuleta, Routt, Delta, Dolores, Montrose, and Moffat counties.

Began near Pagosa Spgs Arpt (37.3340, -107.1280).
