The NCSE Grand Canyon Raft Trip is organized by the National Center for Science Education. The trip is lead by Dr. Alan Gishlick and Dr. Eugenie C. Scott. It presents a scientific and creationist viewpoint. The creationist view will be presented by NCSE Executive Director Dr. Eugenie C. Scott, who has never had a geology class in her life but who assures us that this will be no barrier to her presenting the creationist perspective on the Canyon. Past trips have received positive reviews at Panda's Thumb. The 2007 trip took place between July 17-24, and had twenty-four participants.

Eugenie Scott, tongue in cheek, informed the rafters that the whole Colorado plateau was laid down by the receding waters of Noah's Flood, and Grand Canyon itself was cut catastrophically in a matter of days.

Controversy
Steven A Austin complained that Wilfred Elders' article, Bibliolatry in the Grand Canyon (RNCSE 1998; 18[4]: 8-15) mentioning of the NCSE Grand Canyon Raft Trip.
