September rafting the Grand Canyon?
1st tvisit and prefer a 2 or 3 night rafting cheap-my budget for 2016 does not allow for a 7day rafting trip.Any suggents for companies to look at websites? Is September a good month for rafting? Could I do October instead?

Not sure how many rafting companies offer this trip, but not many - this is your only option - helicopter to Whitmore Wash, then spend 3 days/2 nights rafting to Lake Mead. Cost approx. $1300 to $1400. This trip is offered by Western Expeditions.
Unless you are willing to spend more time and more money to see the river from River Mile 0 Lees Ferry you will be missing out on some awesome scenery and the biggest and best rapids on the river.

I agree with Gilbert. The best part is through the national park
A non motorized trip takes 2 weeks. You can do a half trip and either hike in ( 1/2 day hike down from bright angel. ) for the 2nd half or home out (5000' elevation gain after floating the 1st half
Motorized rafts can do the whole length in a week.
