The trail system above Glenwood Meadows in Glenwood Springs (located between the community center and Roaring Fork Transportation Authority facility) suffered damage due to debris flows from heavy rain.

The wider storm

Abundant subtropical moisture paired with weak steering flow resulted in slow moving showers and thunderstorms across the higher terrain of western Colorado. Some of the stronger storms produced heavy rain which led to debris flows in portions of Garfield County, including on the Grizzly Creek Fire burn scar in Glenwood Canyon. Flooding also occurred in portions of Moffat County due to heavy rain from storms.
