Named for the prominent bend in the Rio Grandealong the US, Mexico border, this park encompasses a large and remote part of the Chihuahuan Desert. Its main attraction is backcountry recreation in the arid Chisos Mountainsand in canyons along the river. A wide variety of Cretaceous and Tertiaryfossils as well as cultural artifacts of Native Americans also exist within its borders. Our goal is to make pet rules of the National Park easy to follow. Below are the dog and pet rules for the park. Please use them as a guide and remember to contact the park for questions you may have prior to your trip and as always, if you have a suggestion, please comment below or contact us directly.
