My wife and I hiked 40 miles and floated 100 with a hired guide and a dory. Spectacular scenery and white water. Interesting encounters with bighorn sheep, mule deer, condors, buzzards, ravens, mice, lizards, tarantulas, scorpions, red ants. Stumbled across the remains of Anasazi pit houses, cliff dwellings, pictographs, a mano and matate (for grinding corn) and pottery. It's supposed to be a crowded time of year in the canyon, but we went days at a time without seeing anyone else.
