Canyon Tree Frog
These tree frogs come down to cool off in the small creeks and pools that are created from rains and snow melt in the high mountains around Tucson, AZ. The area I captured this image is found about 800m below the peak of Mt Lemmon (approx. 3000m).

The canyon tree frog is a species of tree frog native to the rocky plateau areas of southern United States, primarily in New Mexico and Arizona, but it also ranges to Utah, Texas, and Colorado, and as far south as the Mexican states of Michoacán, México, Guanajuato, Guerrero, and Oaxaca.
