Another chance for a new national park in Arizona
The Chiricahua National Monument could be our next national park.
The Chiricahua National Monument is covered by distinctive hoodoos and balancing rocks. The national monument was established in 1924 in to protect the area’s unique geology and cultural history and it could soon be Chiricahua National Park.
A bill to create the national park passed the U.S. Senate last year but it did not pass in the House of Representatives. Earlier this month, Senators Kelly and Sinema and Representative Ciscomani re-introduced the bill. We urge Senators and Representatives to support this bill and create a new national park.
