Arizona's Otherworldly 'Wonderland of Rocks' Is Now America's Newest National Park

Chiricahua National Monument in southeastern Arizona is now Chiricahua National Park, becoming the 64th national park in the United States. Known as the Land of Standing-Up Rocks, the site features striking geologic landscapes and biodiversity that have attracted humans for millennia. The designation followed bipartisan support in Congress and was signed into law by Donald Trump on Tuesday. This new status protects the area's historic rock spires and unique natural environment for future generations to explore.
