TOUR DETAILS
Starting approximately 4 hours before the setting sun, this up to 3-mile round-trip walking tour begins and ends outside the Yavapai Geology Museum, just west of the Grand Canyon Visitor Center. We start with sweeping views out to the east of the park, and down below to Phantom Ranch and the Colorado River.
F
rom there we walk our way west along the Trail of Time, which features various examples from the canyon’s layers and geological formations that have been brought up from its depths and placed alongside the trail for a truly hands-on experience. As we journey, we will be on and off the Rim Trail for various teaching times and panoramic views of the canyon.
Our tour concludes with a memorable time watching the sun setting in the west, as we close out the day at the Grand Canyon with the One who made it.
This walking tour is suitable for all ages. It is handicap and stroller accessible along the paved path, but does involve some hills where assistance may be needed.
The sunset walking tour runs Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, May to September, starting about 4-hours before the setting sun. Tours are around four hours long, but total length of time varies according to the sunset.
