There are (at least) two wonderful aspects of Thunderbird Lodge. In no particular order, the first relates to the location of Thunderbird, inside Canyon de Chelly. The second is the friendly, welcoming, generous staff of people at the hotel who reflect the spirit of ancestors who lived in this inspiring location!
