I just got back from the Grand Canyon for a 6 day backpacking trip.
I went with a company called Wildland Trekking. There was 4 of us plus 1 guide and 1 guide in training.
You can see more details of it here:

We went Down the South Kaibab Trail (rim 1) then up and down the the North Kaibab Trail (rim 2) and then up the Bright Angel Trail (rim 3).
It is pretty spectacular and amazing how quickly the vegetation and rocks change all the time.
We had pretty much perfect backpacking weather. I wore a t-shirt most of the time. The last night was a little chilly but manageable.
After my trip my parents picked me up and I got to see their new place in Tucson and relax for a couple days before coming back to winter in Edmonton.
