Chiricahua National Park · Arizona
America’s 64th national park became official on October 20, 2026. In southeastern Arizona, Chiricahua protects towering volcanic rock pinnacles, balanced rocks, and wooded canyons. For a first family visit, start with the scenic drive to Massai Point and choose a hike that fits your group. The shorter Echo Canyon outing offers a look among the rocks; the full loop requires more time and sure footing. Pack lunch and water, download maps, and check current park conditions before driving out.
Hours, roads, and programs change with the seasons. Check current conditions on the official Chiricahua National Park website before you go.
