About Thunderbird Lodge

Tour the canyon with us, we have multiple options for touring Canyon De Chelly. The ride and awesome scenery will amaze you. The best way to experience the archaeological sites within the many canyons of Canyon De Chelly National Monument is on one of our tours.

Our tours are conducted on Pinzgauer army troop carriers, built by Steyr-Puch of Austria, manufacturer of the Mercedes G Wagon. Our Pinzgauers have seat belts for all 10 passengers. They are very impressive off road, and in 6wd with 3 axles locked, they will go places where Hummers and Jeeps fear to tread. Our model is the Soft Top 6×6 with two rear axles. The soft tops are easily and quickly rolled up for exceptional viewing.

Our Navajo guides teach you the history of the canyons and about Ancestral Pueblo (Anasazi), Hopi and Navajo peoples. We offer you more than just viewing our scenery. Every guide is a professional, certified by the National Park Service and the Navajo Nation Parks and Recreation Department.

All tours depart from Thunderbird Lodge Trading Post. Please check-in at least 20 minutes prior to your departure time. Bottled water and snacks are provided.
