Just thought I would echo Bill_H's comments about traffic. We are headed to Sedona for the third time in September. I believe one of the highways in Phoenix will be undergoing major construction so plan on even more time/delays moving around that area.

If you're going all the way to Cameron Trading Post and back to Bright Angel - stopping, looking and walking along the way, you'll find that's easily a 10 hour day. I don't know if you intend to see the museums at Bright Angel (as you walk to breakfast maybe - it's very small but interesting) or Mather Point (the Visitor's Center), but these will take a bit of time. Desert View is at least an hour stop and I'd think the Cameron Trading Post is too. There are Indian ruins near Desert View (opposite side of the road a few miles before) that are worth seeing.

Getting to Page for your float trip is possible - you will have stopped every where the night before - you will want to have topped off your tank the night before as well, as you won't be the only people attempting to gas up near the canyon bright and early the next morning. Gas at Cameron is a good idea as you pass that way again. Pay some attention to your mileage and see if you can avoid unnecessary stopping between GC and Page - while there won't be much traffic, there can be slow moving vehicles and the occasional lane closure, you don't want to be in a rush for your raft trip.

I left Sedona at about 8AM for a 12:30 flight.

I stopped a few times to get photos of Cactus.

The annoying part is the car was a rental and I couldn't find gas stations to fill up between the highway and car return at the airport.

It's only 55 miles from the Grand Canyon Village (32 miles from the GC east entrance), about 1 hour each way according to Mapquest. So would take 10 hours only if you stopped, looked and walked for 8 hours ...
