Grand Canyon Rafting Weekend
with Canyon Ministries   
August 27-30, 2010

Creation Safaris has teamed up with Canyon Ministries to bring you a 4-day river adventure of a lifetime—at a bargain price!  Look what you get: a flight from Las Vegas to Bar-Ten Ranch on the Grand Canyon north rim for lunch, followed by horseback riding, skeet shooting and hiking, creation teaching, dinner and an authentic cowboy entertainment show.  Sleep in a covered wagon, indoor cabin or out on a deck under the stars.  Next morning after breakfast, ride a helicopter to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, where you board rafts for TWO full days and nights on the river in the world’s most awesome natural wonder, with hikes up side canyons and interpretation from a creation perspective.  All meals are provided, and all camping gear.  Enjoy evening fellowship and sleeping under the stars.  On the fourth day, join your new friends for one more coffee and breakfast, ride the river some more, hike some fun side canyons, and then have lunch as a jet boat speeds us to Lake Mead.  From there, a bus takes us back to your starting point in Las Vegas.

Look at the pictures from previous trips!

I know what you’re thinking: this has to be really expensive, right?  To get an airplane flight, horseback riding, skeet shooting, helicopter flight, river rafting, jet boat and bus all in one package must cost a miner’s sack o' gold.  Throw in all meals, camping gear and professional guide, and this must be a treat for the Boston elite.  No!  You get all this, and great Christian fellowship, for only $1250 per person!  All you bring is your clothes and camera–we do the rest.
You can’t pass this one up.  Email here to tell us you are interested, and when you are interested enough to lay some dough on the line, be prepared to shell out a measly $300 deposit to hold your place (balance due by end of January).  There is only room for 28 participants and it is FIRST COME FIRST SERVED.  Already five of them are spoken for--don’t be left out!
ABOUT YOUR GUIDE:  Tom Vail is a veteran rafting guide with 25 years’ experience.  In recent years he has led the big trips for ICR and Answers in Genesis.  Formerly an evolutionist, he used to tell his rafting parties the usual millions-of-years stories about the canyon, but when he became a Christian, he began to look at the world differently.  In the Canyon, he saw evidence everywhere for rapid deposition of strata and a massive flood.
    This led to the publication in 2004 of his book Grand Canyon: A Different View that caused a firestorm among evolutionists when the National Park Service began selling it in its bookstores (01/08/2004).  Fortunately, visitors to the Grand Canyon voted with their dollars and made it one of the most popular books in the park.  The book is excellent.  Featuring inspirational and scientific comments by creationists (many with PhDs) and accompanied by beautiful photography, this is a wonderful book that all participants on this event will want to have: order it here – or, if you come, buy it at the Bar Ten Ranch and Tom will sign it for you.

SAFARI REUNIONS   

Sierra Backpack 
 
** postponed **
North Fork of the Kings, Crown Pass and Guest Lake Basin (strenuous)
** News 06/18/2010 **  We received word from the ranger station at Prather that the road is not open yet.  We will not be able to take the trip on June 26 as planned; there is still too much snow.  We are looking into an alternate date for this trip, possibly in early or middle August.  Watch for the new date.
    Time’s approaching for the big Sierra trek of the summer.  We only have room for 10.  This great adventure includes the best of the Sierras—a mighty river with pools and waterfalls for fishing, swimming and sunning on the rocks, forests and wildflowers, vast scenic vistas, multitudes of lakes, solitude, and unspoiled wilderness.  You can rent a pack and bear canister and some items can be shared, but you need your own sleeping bag and weatherproof clothing and food.  Email immediately if interested.

Havasupai 2010     
July 24-30
Write if interested in a week at the Grand Canyon paradise of Supai.  Waterfalls, swimming, camping, hiking, fellowship are all part of the mix at one of our favorite locations.  Requires 10 mile pack in and 10 mile strenuous pack out, but the swimming holes in the canyon’s magical blue-green water are worth it.  This year we will see how the landscape has changed as a result of last year’s massive flash flood.  A new waterfall, Rock Falls, was formed, with what looks like a fun swimming hole below it.  We’ll also trek down to Beaver Falls and look for the underwater cavern.

Annual Star Party
 
at Mt Pinos
Saturday August 7
Annual Star Party at Mt Pinos offers amazing views of the heavens through amateur telescopes.

Rock Creek Mini-Backpack  in the Eastern Sierra
 
Sept 3-6, 2010
The Little Lakes Valley along Rock Creek is an excellent Sierra destination.  You get majestic beauty of peaks and lakes with not too much expenditure of effort.  Just five miles in on a fairly moderate trail past a wonderful series of lakes takes you to camp.  Photography, fishing, and leisurely exploring are highlights.
