CANYON DE CHELLY NATIONAL MONUMENT
We hope to see you soon!
Yá’át’ééh, we are privileged to welcome you to a sacred place for our people, the Diné. As Navajo we believe that our people journeyed through three worlds in various forms before emerging from Mother Earth into this world, the Sparkling World.
Thunderbird Lodge is operated by the Navajo Nation Hospitality Enterprise, an Enterprise of the Navajo Nation.
The historic Thunderbird Lodge is the only hotel in Canyon De Chelly. Navajo owned and operated, the charm and comfort of the lodge, and friendly Navajo staff, add to your visit to Navajoland. To enjoy the true canyon experience, you are invited to “stay in Canyon De Chelly.”
Adjacent to the lodge is the restaurant, located in the original Trading Post built in 1896. In this historic setting visitors can enjoy regional specialties. Combining professional training and ancestral heritage, the restaurant’s Navajo chefs prepare a number of Navajo and non-Navajo dishes. The restaurant offers a cafeteria-style menu and is open 7-days-a-week.
Our tours depart daily and are the best way to experience Canyon de Chelly. Our Navajo guides and vehicles are first rate and both will provide you with an experience that matches the landscape.
