Overview

Experience the Grand Canyon from a biblical creation perspective with Canyon Ministries.

The Sunset Rim Tour begins inside the park at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center flagpole, meeting around four hours before sunset. From there, you’ll journey along the South Rim’s east side on Desert View Drive, traveling in comfort to some of the most breathtaking overlooks and vistas.

At each stop, step out to take in stunning views, explore the surroundings, and engage in meaningful teaching. Your guide will share fascinating insights into the canyon’s geology, wildlife, and history, all framed by the biblical account of Creation and the Flood as described in 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.

Total tour length is variable, depending on when the sun sets that day. Plan to be back around 30 minutes after the sunset.

Additional tours, backpacking, & Grand Canyon river trips are also available!
