I’ve been really skunked lately on Grand Canyon Permits. Just fyi I’ve done North Kaibab, South Kaibab, Bright Angel and also Deer Creek Thunder river loop. ( that last was a BEAR, with no bears of course) No luck on a May permit this year. I read somewhere on here you could hike Kanab creek without a permit without breaking any rules. I’m not interested in stealth camping in GCNP though I’ve sure seen it. But I guess there is a way to hike down on Forest Service land, and then in and out as day hikes, camping below the rim but on Forest service land? Or maybe I misunderstood. Any tips greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You could camp just upstream from Jumpup Canyon and go most, if not all of the way to the river and back as a dayhike.  Some burly miles in there but doable.
