Two of my old ultrarunning buds are nearly your age.
They meet every end of September, hike from the South Rim to the North Rim, stay overnight in the North Rim Lodge, have a good meal, some fine wine, and sleep in a nice bed. Next day, they hike back.
But, they have to make their reservation at the North Rim Lodge nearly a year in advance.
No, you are not nuts. I have been trashed by a road biker 10 years your senior. Either use it or lose it.

That is exactly what we are planning. Hopefully we can start an annual tradition. Thanks for the encouragement.

A popular third option is "rim", where you stand on the rim, look down, but don't actually go to the other side, nor back. It's surprisingly easy on the legs. You can look down and ponder how long it took them to dig out all that dirt.
