4-Hour Biblical Creation + Sunset Tour • Grand Canyon National Park South Rim
Things to know
About the Activity
Experience the Grand Canyon from a biblical creation perspective with Canyon Ministries. Meeting inside the park at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center flag pole about four hours before the sun sets, the Sunset Rim Tour visits the very best locations of the South Rim’s east side. Along Desert View Drive, you will ride comfortably in our tour vehicle to each amazing overlook and vista. Once we arrive at each spot on the tour, we will hop off the vehicle for incredible views, exploration, and exciting teaching tied into everything we’re seeing. During the tour, your guide will spend time sharing about the geology, plants, animals, and people history of the canyon—and of course, the biblical message of Creation and the Flood as recorded in the book of Genesis. At the end of the tour, we will close out the day with the One who made it as the sun sets far to the west over the rim. *GROUP DISCOUNTS + additional tours, backpacking, & river trips found on our Canyon Ministries website.4 hours
