Thunderbird Lodge

73 rooms, 1 floor. Canyon de Chelly National Monument contains 83,840 acres and was authorized as part of the National Park System in 1931 to preserve ruins of Native American villages built in steep-walled canyons between A.D. 350 and 1300. Lodging within in the monument is available only at the historic Thunderbird Lodge, a 73-room motel-style facility reminiscent of older adobe structures.
