What a wonderful experience - and I'm eager to return. Last April I was at the South Rim as a tourist and checked with the Rangers to be sure a permit is not now required. He said, when I told him what I wanted to do, with a bit of fatigue in his voice, "I'm not going to try to talk you out of it." It's really quite doable. Just have enough food and water. The ranger station at the bottom of the canyon even offered us lemonade!
