At each stop, step out to take in awe-inspiring views, explore the overlooks, and engage in insightful teaching that connects what you see with the canyon’s story. Your guide will share fascinating details about the Grand Canyon’s geology, flora, fauna, and human history, all interwoven with the biblical account of Creation and the Flood as recorded in the Bible's book of Genesis.4 hours
