See the very best of the Grand Canyon National Park, ancient Native American ruins at Wupatki National Monument, and guided exploration through the lava fields and explosive landscape of Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument on a guided day trip from Flagstaff.

Leaving the Grand Canyon, we drop down into the lands of the Navajo Nation, with stunning views of the Little Colorado River Gorge, Painted Desert, and sagebrush grasslands dotted with volcanic peaks. Next, head to the Wupatki National Monument and explore ancient ruins nearly 1000 years old, as you continue learning about the events of Genesis 10-11 and migration from Babel to the Americas. At Sunset Crater, discover lava flows and volcanoes while discussing the post-Flood Ice Age, as well as delving into the mountain-building activity seen in Northern Arizona and around the world.
