Heavy rain has led to dangerous flooding in areas affected by Colorado wildfires. The Aspen Acres fire has had a significant impact, with runoff from thunderstorms inundating creeks that would normally be mitigated by healthy forest. In nearby areas, emergency evacuations were ordered in Ouray County due to mudslides and flooding.

Red Mountain Pass was closed as a result of the mudslides. Further details and photos of the flooding, including images of debris and mud along Highway 78 near Beulah, are available from the Colorado Sun.
