Re: Big bend
You need a pocket rocket (or a similar small stove). We have not camped at big bend, but rather in places with fire restrictions during certain times of year. Good luck.

Re: Big bend
I've camped in the interior of the park several times. Nothing really special about carrying there.

You do have plan a gallon of water per person per day, and that adds a considerable amount of pack weight.
Typically we are at 50-55 lbs pack weight out of the gate for day one.
If you're leaving from the Lodge parking lot, that is a nasty climb the 1st day with full weight heading for the interior of the park.
Good luck and enjoy! It's a truly beautiful place to go for a hike.

Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism. Barry Goldwater
