   Make sure to bring a variety of clothing with you.  At the rim of the
canyon it gets pretty cold due to the altitude.  At the bottom (1 mile
down) it's a desert.  The temperature varies greatly.  There shouldn't be
too much trouble water-wise.  There are tons of people who hike the trail.
A large canteen each should suffice.
