Hiking in the Grand Canyon for free?

I wanted to take a few days to hike the Grand Canyon, but guided tours are the way ahead. 3 days for $ 500? haha. can I just get a map and walk a path? is easy to navigate? 2 or 3 days would be the best way. Also, What does it cost to reserve a campsite?

A couple of things material laws: To pass any number of nights camped below the rim in GCNP must have in possession of something called a Backcountry Use Permit While the cost is minimal to obtain one permit cost $ 10.00 + $ 5.00 per person per night for a permit when and where you want to camp can be difficult at times in a couple of minutes and work your way through this link http://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/backcountry.htm the practical matters: If I have made the rules, then I below the Redwall camping ban the 5 / 15 to 9 / 15 Why? Because the inner Canyon is hotter than hell in these times, it is quite barren and devoid of any shade, unless Playboy and rock desert rat using overhangs to out of the sun then, of course, the question of getting caught in the open during regular afternoon T-storms> Men who have not lived until you have been close enough to a lightning bolt that all> and I do this> from the hair of his body standing out. I would suggest to forget the idea of several days internal Canyon Tours and walks instead of staying above the Redwall As the watershed above the campsite to go: Desert View GC is a great place to spend a couple Beware of nights there and not make the mistake of underestimating the danger of the ravine
