@gabbettfamilytravels: We just got a 64th national park! 🎉 Tucked away in southeast Arizona, it’s famous for towering rock spires, hoodoos, and quiet trails with way fewer crowds than the big-name parks (well that’s probably changing now 😳) 📍 This is Chiricahua! 🪨 Known as the “Wonderland of Rocks,” with towering volcanic spires, balanced rocks, and hoodoos left by an eruption 27 million years ago. 🌌 Already an International Dark Sky Park, so the stargazing is unreal. 🌵 Arizona’s 4th national park, joining Grand Canyon, Saguaro, and Petrified Forest. 🏔️ Protected since 1924 as a national monument, and about 85% of it is wilderness. It’s also the traditional homeland of the Chiricahua Apache, who called it the Land of Standing-Up Rocks. 🥾Need a family-friendly trail? Try the Echo Canyon Loop - about 3.3 miles and stunning the whole way! 💬 Have you been here?! 📌Save this for your next Arizona trip, and send it to the friend who’s trying to hit every national park! #chiricahua #nationalparks #familytravel #arizona
