I'm planning a hiking trip in the Grand Canyon for March 19-26 with
one other friend.  

We're thinking of flying to the South Rim airport and hiking Bright
Angel Trail or Kaibab down to Phantom Ranch, and then spending 5-6
days along trails like the Tonto and Grandview trails.  However, we
are not terribly familiar with the terrain and are not super-experienced
backpackers.

Any advice would be appreciated, especially concerning the availability
of water.
