By day this pool is unassuming – close to the road and in the middle of a well used area – but at night… Sonoran Desert Toads gather, the fish come closer to the edge of the pool, moonlight streams in and the stars are visible above – magic.

Looking up from Sabino Canyon - stars and clouds, Cottonwoods and Saguaro.
