What the National Weather Service wrote

Flooding along the Yampa River resulted in the closure of the Deerlodge Park Campground within Dinosaur National Monument.

The wider storm

Accelerated snowmelt from a near-record snowpack due to above normal temperatures produced high and fast flow on drainages in several counties across the Western Slope. As a result, flooding compromised various low-lying roads and areas. This included some lanes along I-70 west of Fruita, Colorado.

Began near Elk Spgs (40.4460, -108.5180).
