A beautiful geological area. I hiked all the way down to the Colorado River and back up on the same day. It was approximately 22 miles. Packing a lot of water essentials specially if you are doing the hike during the summer. The temperature down at the river can get to 130F with an elevation loss of 4500 feet. Only 1% of the Grand Canyon visitors hike the Canyon. If you find a campsite, I suggest you do that and enjoy stargazing at night. You would definitely be able see the Milky Way. If you got the energy to hike Rim to rim (Khaibab to the South Rim), it won’t be a horrible idea, just a little exhausting.
