The train ride is fun, and not too long and well worth it if you are thinking of spending the night at the rim. Do try and see a sunset from the south rim. But take a jacket if you do. It goes from 70 to 30 in about 5 minutes. The park guides at the South Rim were VERY down on the Skywalk, it was surprising.
