he National Park Service (NPS) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have completed an Air Tour Management Plan (ATMP) and Environmental Assessment (EA) for Canyon de Chelly National Monument. The plan prohibits commercial air tours over the park and within one-half mile outside its boundary to protect natural and cultural resources, sacred Tribal places, wilderness areas, and visitor experiences.
The National Park Service (NPS) and the Navajo Nation Parks and Recreation (NNPR) are pleased to announce that the White House Overlook and Trail at Canyon de Chelly National Monument will reopen for public use on Friday, August 2, 2024. The trail is the only public trail in the park and is heavily used by both visitors and local community members. The area was closed in March 2020 after a rash of vehicle break-ins.
