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.

Yavapai Point

Starting near the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, our first stop provides you with an introduction to the Grand Canyon and its geology. We will lay the foundation for the rest of the tour regarding the biblical events of the Flood found in Genesis and the significance of what we'll be exploring throughout our tour.

Grandview Point

Learn about the exciting Wild West people history at Grandview Point, with talks on mining both copper and tourist pockets in the early days of the Grand Canyon National Park development. Enjoy wide vistas and the distant Colorado River as we talk about the significance of the canyon and whether that river has the power to cut and remove this material.

Lipan Point

While taking in fantastic river views, including one of the canyon's largest rapids, we will talk about the Native American Ancestral Puebloans who lived far below on the Unkar Delta. At Lipan Point, we will also showcase the geological Great Unconformity, Cambrian Explosion, and the Tapeats Sandstone—all of which provide fantastic observable evidence for a global Flood. Learn about the mechanisms of the Flood from its onset, and how we believe the sedimentary rock layers were deposited through this year-long destructive event of biblical proportions!

Navajo Point

A lot of water, in a little bit of time. Learn about the carving of the Grand Canyon by what we call the "lake spillover" or "breached dam" model, something first proposed in geology all the way back in the 1800s and still held by both creation and some secular geologists alike today. See beyond the Grand Canyon to the distant Vermilion and Echo Cliffs of the Marble Platform and southeast to parts of the Painted Desert. Learn about the nearby historic Desert View Watchtower, completed in 1932.

Grand Canyon Visitor Center South Rim

After the tour, our guide will drop you off back at your vehicle at the Grand Canyon National Park Visitor Center, or wherever else you may have parked that day.

Our family (my wife and I, along with our four kids) recently took the 4-hour morning tour with Canyon Ministries, and it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the guide kept us all—kids included—fully engaged with a wonderful mix of deep biblical insight and fascinating facts about the Grand Canyon. What made this tour stand out was not just the breathtaking views, but the way our guide connected the majesty of the Canyon to the truth of Scripture. We learned not only how the Canyon may have been formed from a biblical perspective, but how every rock layer and sweeping vista ultimately points to the Creator and the hope of the gospel. It was inspiring, educational, and faith-building all at once. If you're looking for a Christ-centered experience that combines stunning scenery with solid teaching, we couldn’t recommend Canyon Ministries more. It’s perfect for families, and we left feeling encouraged, amazed, and more in awe of God’s creation.

This tour was an absolutely amazing experience and just what I was looking for! Luke was a wealth of knowledge and shared with such enthusiasm! He engaged the group in encouraging our participation! I learned important facts about the Bible that I didn't know or didn't remember! The whole tour was so incredibly thought-provoking and perfect!
