Here's the hike overview 👇
And here's the link to the Notion Doc I'm showing in the video.

Time Commitment
The whole thing will likely take 6 days, including travel days. You'll need to take at least 3 days off of work - Thurs/Fri, and then the following Mon. Tues might be the preferred travel day, so that would be 4 work days off.
Physical Training
10 weeks leading up to hike require training every day and long hikes on most weekends.
If you feel out of shape, there's a 6 week prep program you can do to ramp up to the core Grand Canyon training.
Key Physical Goal: 1,000 consecutive step ups with 40lb backpack.
Cost
Plan for roughly $1,500 total. Less if you thrift or borrow gear, and depending on travel cost to Phoenix.
