What the National Weather Service wrote

A mudslide of unknown size temporarily closed down Colorado Highway 13 between County Road 73 and County Road 38.

The wider storm

An area of low pressure originating from the Pacific Northwest dropped into the Great Basin. As this feature slowly lifted across the region it tapped into a stream of monsoon moisture from the south. The upper level lift paired with the abundance of moisture resulted in widespread showers and thunderstorms. Some storms produced heavy rain which led to localized debris flows across portions of western Colorado.

Began near Craig Messa View Ran (40.7700, -107.5500).
