What To Expect
Grand Canyon South Rim
Our biblical creation tours of the Grand Canyon National Park's South Rim include multiple stops to the very best overlooks with tons of insightful teaching throughout the day. The order below is a "typical" route, focusing on the park's east side along Desert View Drive. Due to changing weather, seasons, or the people flow in the park that day, we may have alternate stops other than what we provide below. Our tours are not "scripted", so guides have the freedom and flexibility to respond to changes in the park as well as your own individual group dynamic. Our tour does not include entry fee into the Grand Canyon National Park, which you may pay at the gate or use a National Park Pass. Entry is good for 7 days of unlimited use.
Grand Canyon Visitor Center South Rim
Our tour meets at the flag pole just outside the Grand Canyon Visitor Center building INSIDE the park at tour start time. Plan extra arrival time during spring and summer. Holidays and spring break may have lines over an hour long getting into the park. We suggest you arrive early and enjoy views at the Grand Canyon Village or Mather Point or a Rim Trail walk before joining our tour.

5.00Most delightful and informative experience. The tour guide was very pleasant and patient, and did an outstanding job of showing the hand of God in the creation of the world and the formation of the Grand Canyon. Very knowledgeable of the Bible in its application to what we were saying. She is on fire for the Lord, and our experience was greatly enhanced as a result.
Amazing, encouraging, enlightening and family friendly fun and a mission to the world

5.00Our Tour guide Emilia was amazing! She was prompt, polite, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the canyons recent history, Native Americans oral histories, geology, plant and animal life, fossils, and most importantly the scriptures. She remembered each of my family's names ( 9 of us), and encouraged my children to actively participate with engaging questions. The tour tied in the creation story, the fall story, the flood story, the story of Christ redemption and the truth of our own brokenness and need for a savior. This tour reminded me of things I had forgotten, taught me things I never knew and inspired my and my family's faith. Best of all, other tourist will be within eats shot of the truth of the canyons history and the saving message of Christ. This ministry is a mission to you and to the other visitors that is well worth the cost.
An excellent explanation...
