MONDAY - RED ROCK CANYON
On my final day of the trip I wanted to see some amphibians, so I went to this very popular tourist destination.

Tortoise Crossing

It features several springs and creeks, like this one.

Waterways often are a place where Cottonwood Trees can be found in the desert. And Spiny Lizards like spending time in Cottonwoods.
