Story:
Park your car at any of the campground parking lots. They are all pretty close to one another and clumped together at the northern section of the Park. Then use the shuttle service to get dropped off where the trail starts and hike back to your car. The NPS runs the shuttle service and will make a special drop off for backpackers and hikers if you ask them nicely.
This offers some really great views. But most of the best scenic spots do not require the hike. You can get to inspiration point by driving there.
I did this as a big day hike. but it is suitable for backpacking. Pre-established campgrounds are marked with waypoints.
If your going to do it as a backpacking trip...
1. Check with the rangers about water availability. There were several sources I found along this route, but most of them did not look like the run annually.
2. I think a $5 permit is required and the campsites are pre-established.
3. Consider doing the ENTIRE under the rim trail. The southern section is available in my lists of trips as well.
4. National Geographic Trails Illustrated does a great map.
NOTE: The pictures were placed using the "auto-place" feature on everytrail. All the picture are from this hike, but they may not nessaserly be accurate on the exact locations.
