About the Event
Get ready for three fantastic days experiencing the geology, zoology, theology and history of the Grand Canyon with a world-class creation scientist and a small group of friends and family! You’ll enjoy a scenic private charter flight to the wonderful Bar 10 Guest Ranch on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon before taking a breathtaking helicopter ride down to the Colorado River to board our rafts and embark on our adventure! We will travel by motorized rafts during the day and sleep under an awesome canopy of stars at night while we learn of God’s mighty hand of judgement, redemption and creation along the way. It is truly a trip of a lifetime!
Event Highlights
The Grand Canyon is one of the most amazing features on the planet, descending over a mile into the earth and as much as 18 miles in width. Spend the week encouraging your faith as our guides reveal the truth of God’s creation found in this gigantic remnant of Noah’s Flood, and have a load of fun in the process!
We have chartered two rafts from Western River Expeditions in order to provide you with a safe, fun, and informative experience that is unique to all other tours offered in the Canyon. We have customized Western’s standard tour by adding Dr. Clarey to help us understand the geology, including park service fees and suggesting modesty guidelines on dress for guests and guides (shirts and shorts, no bare midriffs, modest in coverage, style and appearance) to maximize your comfort and enjoyment. Please keep this in mind when looking over the outfitters guide. *If you have questions regarding exactly what is included, call Landmark Events at (210) 885-9351.
First-class rafting adventure
Boatloads of fun!
Big horn ram down for a drink!
Scenic flight to Marble Canyon
We believe Western River Expeditions is the best professional outfitter on the Colorado river and have contracted with them to provide the rafts, crew and all the gear for our time in the Canyon. As mentioned above, we have customized Western’s standard trip to give you a uniquely Christian perspective in the Canyon both in interpretation and experience as much as possible. Our guides have been incredibly competent and hospitable on previous trips and we know they will serve you well. We have included links from Western’s website to give you helpful information on what to expect on the river, how to pack, physical capability and many other facets of the trip. You will also see a suggested outfitters guide that they have assembled for river trips. Please understand you do not need to rush out and buy everything they suggest, nor are you required to purchase through Western. It’s likely to be around 100 degrees in the Canyon when we are there and lows in the 70s. If you have questions please call us at (210) 885-9351 and we can talk it through.

We will navigate the lower 95 miles of Grand Canyon for two and a half days, stopping at Pumpkin Springs for an opportunity to see a most unique mineral spring and take a memorable cliff jump into the river. Travertine Falls and Grotto rewards those willing and able to hike the ½ mile up the creek to enjoy it. Just above Lake Mead, we will transition to a jet boat for the last few miles of flat water and disembark where our box lunch is awaiting aboard an air-conditioned motor coach for the return to Las Vegas, arriving approximately 3:00pm on Thursday, June 18.
Profound. Targeted. Purposeful. Fulfilling. It was better than the photo-brochures could ever proclaim. Extremely well-planned. Partnership with Western River Guides made it even better. Food was nutritious and delicious. Life on the River was Good!!!” —J.G.
