Additional Information

Discover the Grand Canyon through the lens of biblical creation with Canyon Ministries.

We meet within the park, by the flag pole at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, approximately four hours before sunset. Our Sunset Rim Tour takes you to the finest spots on the eastern side of the South Rim. En route on Desert View Drive, you’ll travel with ease in our comfortable tour vehicle, stopping at each spectacular viewing point.

At each destination, we disembark from the vehicle to soak in the stunning scenery, engage in exploration, and partake in insightful teachings that tie into what we observe around us.

Throughout the journey, your tour guide will share insights about the canyon’s geology, flora and fauna, human history, and importantly, the biblical account of Creation and the Flood as detailed in the book of Genesis. We culminate the tour by appreciating the handiwork of the Creator during a breathtaking sunset over the rim in the distant west.

Amazing! God Rocks!! - Phenomenal!! We had never seen the canyon, so our guide offered to helped us approach the first lookout sight, sort of with our eyes closed as she guided us to the edge and then told us when to look! It was so breathtaking!! She presented scripture and science that created a real sense that this may very well be the result of a worldwide flood as described in Genesis. God's ways are so amazing! What was also particularly great was that it was freezing and winds were gusting over 50 mph with ice pellets hitting our face. It was a total relief to be able to hop in the van to escape the weather between look outs and lessons!! Finally, I would recommend this as a first event during your stay in the canyon because the guide was very familiar and knew right where to take us in the van. I would have been trying to figure it out. Her guidance on day one, helped us a lot when we were there the next day.

Wonderful guide. Deeply meaningful experience. - We did not expect that our whole family would be able to join the tour and were so blessed when this worked out. Our guide Dana did a wonderful job of caring for each of our needs (a group from 7 to 70+), sharing a biblical perspective on Creation, and step-by-step unveiling the wonder that is the Grand Canyon. This was truly awe inspiring for me, my wife, and my four kids. Thank you!

Very Enlightening - My husband and I really enjoyed every aspect of this tour. Everything our tour guide (Bob Smart) shared was very clearly explained sometimes using pictures other times with pointing out examples in the landscape. He was willing to answer all our questions and wanted to be sure we fully understood. I loved how he intertwined verses as he spoke. The evidence for creation and a young earth is overwhelming!! We were treated to cold bottled water and a warm, comfortable bus. When we return to the Grand Canyon, I am sure we will do the tour again! Thank you, Bob!!

The best birthday experience - It was my husband's birthday, and after 77 years, this birthday experience was the most meaningful. Eddy was amazing! The biblical knowledge he shared led us right to the truth in real science. 👏 The next day as we hiked around it put such a new perspective on each awe inspiring viewpoint. We are definitely recommending to all our family and friends.

So glad I found out about this tour from a friend - So great to hear the Biblical truth amidst all the signage stating how many millions of years old the Canyon is. Our guide (Katrina) was knowledgeable and well-outfitted with binoculars, water, and blankets.

Good experience with excellent tour guide. - Good experience. Lots of great views of the canyon. Hunter was an excellent guide. Interesting information regarding views on the forming of the Grand Canyon. We were a small group (four people) so the tour could have been trimmed by an hour, or so.
