WaterflowIntroduction
Indian Hollow is the boundary of Grand Canyon National Park and Kaibab National Forest. It's a long walk, but the Redwall narrows are very pretty (top 36.49624977237374, -112.5813943052291), most frequently visited from below in Jumpup canyon. The Supai narrows are short (36.475014851139186, -112.57226902992588).
Approach
You can walk down the wash from Indian Hollow campground, but most hikers visit the bottom end from Jumpup canyon.

Red tape
Indian Hollow is the boundary of Grand Canyon National Park and Kaibab National Forest. No permit is required for day hikes, but a national park backcountry permit is required for overnight use within the national park.
Possibly, a permit is not required if hiking through Indian Hollow then exiting out to national forest land to camp the night (e.g. 1 yard north of the Indian Hollow-Jumpup junction, or, 1 yard west of the Kanab-Jumpup junction). Difficult to know if a permit should be obtained to remain within the spirit of the permit system or not.
Consider this - 2 permits are available each day for the whole of the Kanab creek use area (LA9), so if you do obtain a permit, you take half of the available permits, blocking others who may wish to go further down Kanab creek and therefore they will need multiple-permit nights in-a-row.
