Visiting Arizona one winter my sister and husband took me for a ride in 4 wheeler type vehicle into the desert.  We followed a mostly dry riverbed and stopped to picnic and look at rocks.  I'm a huge rock lover, growing up in Arizona I saw more rocks than water.  The riverbed was the same thing, more rocks than water.  Arizona has it's monsoon season and the washes and riverbeds can fill up fast from mountain runoff.  I lived in AZ for 28 years and we were used to road closures when a big storm came through because many streets crossed washes, washes that otherwise were dry most the time.  Not good planning!  I love this bit of water trickling through this huge rocky riverbed, probably a remnant from a recent passing storm.
