“literally- an oasis”
Its massive, otherworldly sandstone buttes set Papago Park apart, even in a city and state filled with world-class natural attractions. While visitors to Papago can enjoy its extensive trail network through Sonoran Desert habitat, they can also enjoy the parks two major residents, the Phoenix Zoo and Desert Botanical Garden, world-class attractions that draw millions of visits each year. Oh, and did we mention it's only 10 minutes from downtown Phoenix!
Very cute little oasis right in the middle of everything. Nice little escape from the bustle. Bring bread to feed the resident sucks
So this was no longer just a natural beautiful oasis. It was somewhat cemented seeming little lakes. Hate to be a downer... but it was more beautiful viewed from the hole in the rock which shares the location.
Beautiful And peaceful place
