Nate Loper of Canyon Ministries and Stacey Herebic from Focus on the Family will lead an unforgettable 4-day Grand Canyon river trip! This incredible journey blends adventure, biblical teaching, and family-focused encouragement as we raft through one of the most awe-inspiring landscapes on Earth. Each day on the river brings opportunities to explore the stunning geology of the Grand Canyon through the lens of biblical creation and the Genesis Flood—guided by Nate’s deep knowledge of Scripture and science.
Alongside Nate’s canyon insights, Stacey Herebic will offer encouragement rooted in Focus on the Family’s mission to strengthen families and deepen faith. Together, they’ll create a powerful atmosphere of learning, laughter, and spiritual growth as we explore God’s Word and God’s world. With breathtaking hikes, riverside fellowship, and time to unplug and reconnect, this trip is perfect for anyone looking for an adventure with eternal impact. This is a private charter trip by invitation only.
Explore the lower 90 miles of the Grand Canyon on a 4-day journey from the Whitmore Helipad (river mile 187) to Pearce Ferry at Lake Mead. Your adventure begins in Las Vegas with a scenic flight to the Bar 10 Ranch, perched on the remote North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Spend the day enjoying ranch activities like horseback riding, skeet shooting, and optional ATV rides (available for an additional fee). That evening, savor a hearty western dinner featuring Bar 10’s signature grass-fed beef—raised right there on the ranch. Afterward, kick back under the stars and enjoy one of the most memorable country shows you’ll find anywhere in the Southwest.
Overnight accommodations include the historic lodge, outdoor deck, or a cozy Conestoga covered wagon. The next morning, a thrilling helicopter ride drops you onto the canyon floor where the real river adventure begins. Over the next two and a half days, you’ll raft through some of the Grand Canyon’s most scenic and geologically significant stretches, led by expert guides who bring the landscape to life. As the river slows near Lake Mead, you’ll hop aboard a jet boat for an exciting ride to Pearce Ferry, followed by an air-conditioned coach transfer back to Las Vegas—arriving by late afternoon
