The average length of stay at the South Rim is 3 hours. If that's you I'd take the train out of Williams. Very enjoyable trip.
Just wondering where you got that information....
We would recommend that you stay IN the park at Trailer Village. The free shuttle bus stops at the entrance and you can ride it all day long getting on and off wherever you want. The park is not all about strenuous hiking. The Rim Trail is delightful and goes on for miles along the bus route. You'll see fabulous scenery on a fairly flat trail and you can hop on the bus when you get tired. There are many choices for fine dining or casual. There are ranger presentations to attend and to be there when the crowds have thinned out in early morning or at dusk is quite an experience and to really experience the canyon will take more than 3 hours. Have a great trip!
