June 27-July 3, 2026 7-Day River Trip

Geology + Biology with Nate Loper & Roger Patterson!

Adventure meets biblical truth on this incredible 7-day rafting expedition through the Grand Canyon, led by Roger Patterson of Answers in Genesis and Nate Loper of Canyon Ministries. From the very first morning launch at Lees Ferry, you’ll be surrounded by towering canyon walls that rise higher with each mile, revealing a story far older and more powerful than most ever imagine.

This isn’t just a rafting trip—it’s a full-immersion experience in the truth of God’s creation. With every bend in the river, every canyon hike, and every evening under the stars, you’ll be invited to see the Grand Canyon not as a result of millions of years of slow change, but as a dramatic testimony to the global Flood and the Creator who shaped it all.

Nate Loper, a seasoned Grand Canyon guide and creation speaker, will bring the canyon walls to life as he unpacks the massive rock layers, folded strata, and fossil-bearing formations from a Flood geology perspective. You’ll discover how the evidence within the canyon powerfully aligns with the biblical account of a young Earth and a global catastrophe—Noah’s Flood.

Meanwhile, Roger Patterson—biologist, author, and longtime Answers in Genesis speaker—will turn your attention to the incredible variety of life found in and around the canyon. From lizards and bighorn sheep to desert wildflowers and hidden aquatic life, Roger will guide us through the fingerprints of our Creator seen in biology and ecosystems specially designed for survival in this rugged and beautiful environment.

Each day includes things like thrilling whitewater rapids, stunning hikes to hidden waterfalls and side canyons, and rich teaching sessions from both Roger and Nate. In the evenings, gather under the stars for worship, discussion, and time to reflect on what God is revealing through His creation. This trip is more than just a rafting experience—it’s a deep dive into the truth of Scripture written into the very rocks and rhythms of the canyon. Whether you’re a biology buff, a geology geek, or just someone eager to see the wonders of God’s creation from a biblical worldview, this journey will strengthen your faith and deepen your awe for the Creator.

Space is limited—and these trips fill quickly. Don’t miss your chance to raft, learn, and worship through the Grand Canyon with two trusted voices in biblical creation.
