Overview

Experience the Grand Canyon on a guided Sunset Rim Tour with Canyon Ministries, exploring this world-renowned landscape from a biblical Creation perspective.

The tour begins inside Grand Canyon National Park at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center flagpole, meeting approximately four hours before sunset. Travel in comfort along Desert View Drive on the South Rim’s east side, stopping at some of the canyon’s most spectacular overlooks and panoramic viewpoints.

At each stop, step out to enjoy breathtaking scenery, explore the rim, and engage in meaningful teaching. Your guide shares fascinating insights into Grand Canyon geology, wildlife, and history, framed by the biblical account of Creation and the Flood described in Genesis.

The tour concludes with a stunning Grand Canyon sunset as the sun sets over the western horizon. Duration varies by season, returning about 30 minutes after sunset.

Additional rim tours, backpacking, and river trips available.
