Canyon De Chelly Tours is an enterprise of Leon Skyhorse Thomas. Every guide is a professional, certified by the National Park Service by examination. In addition to tours of the Canyon de Chelly National Monument, cultural consulting needs are addressed on a case by case basis for those who seek a more intimate insight onto the Navajo Way. Leon has assisted film-makers on location in Navajoland and is used to delivering high quality services to the people and organizations he serves.There are over 2700 archaeological sites within the many canyons of Canyon de Chelly National Monument. Only 13 of the 700 standing ruins have been stabilized, re-inforced, or protected from degradation. We are professional Navajo guides who can teach you the history of our canyons and about the Anasazi, Hopi and Navajo peoples. We pride ourselves in offering you more than just viewing our scenery - but we can do this too!

"My husband and I highly recommend this tour with Canyon de Chelly Tours. We went in late May on an evening tour and were fortunate enough to be the only ones on the tour with Daveson, our guide. He was not only amiable, but also very knowledgable about the history of the canyon and the ruins we visi..."ted. His narrative about the Native Americans who settled in the canyon gave us a greater appreciation for the early civilizations in the area, and he especially opened a window for us to a greater understanding of the Navajo people and the struggles they encountered throughout history. The scenery was beautiful and, overall, it was definitely a highlight of our vacation to the Southwest. We encourage other travelers not to miss it!

"There are two concessions currently in Canyon de Chelle for horseback riding. After phoning both, it was clear to me that Justin was by far the most experienced. We booked a four-hour tour, in order to see at least three of the ruins. When we arrived (a Saturday morning), Justin and crew were wai..."ting for us. My husband and I had two great hourses--Cocoa for me and Freckles for my husband. Justin himself accompanied us as our tour guide.
As you leave the corral, you go out and into the Chinle Wash. Quite a treat. We saw the Navajo farmlands, the historic ruins and the canyon itself is unbelievable as you ride down the wash and look up on both sides. Justin was a wonderful tour guide and told us many stories about what we were seeing. We stopped a couple of times, and at the turn around point had a snack before heading home.
I would strongly recommend the horseback riding with Justin rather than the Jeep tours (which may turn out to be an old Chevy that is closed-in). Justi...
