At the San Pedro–Babocomari confluence in southeastern Arizona, photographers get a rare riparian oasis: winding river curves, dense cottonwoods, and open desert hills as clean foreground-to-background compositions. Best in cooler months when greenery is vivid and light is soft; sunrise/sunset add warm sheen on water and exposed gravel bars.
