Assuming you are referring to Big Bend National Park in the U.S., there are no cities that can really be considered "close". The closest city of any size is Odessa, Texas, (pop. 99,000) which is 230 miles north. Fort Stockton is closer, but it's a small town.

El Paso (pop. 649,000) is well over 300 miles to the northwest.
