A national park in western Texas, USA. It has an area of 2,999 km2 and was designated a national park in 1944. It is located at the big bend of the Rio Grande River, which flows southeast, but suddenly changes course to the northeast. Here, the Rio Grande forms canyons such as the Grand Canyon of Santa Elena and Boquillas Canyon. Most of the park is arid wilderness, with desert and steppe, but the Chisos Mountains lie in the center. There are also many prehistoric Indian ruins and tree fossils.
