This is the old way to drive to South Bass Trailhead from Tusayan, however road 328 is currently (3/13/2024) blocked by a locked gate where it enters the Havasupai lands just west of Cecil Dodd Tank, because the Havasupai reservation is not open to visitors at this location. See https://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/upload/South-Bass-Trailhead-Access.pdf
All of this route is on dirt roads, and is not scenic. It would be a moderately unpleasant hike
