The view from Plateau Point (where you can see the trail end, right in the middle of the image) is spectacular. Maybe the best view in the park. You're in the middle of the canyon, with the huge walls above you, and still another thousand foot drop down to the river below.

Holy crap, seriously? I had thought I overhyped this spot in my mind (I took like 50 variations of this picture I posted) but it sounds like it's just as amazing as I thought it would be. This is really validating because as soon as I saw this spot I was thinking "thats gotta be one of the coolest views in the park"

Yeah, it's a neat spot. https://imgur.com/a/VQfCkF3 overlooking the river, and then big walls all around. We had a storm starting to build over the rim while we were down there, and it was a really sweet place to watch it.

How long of a hike is that Plateau Point from the rim? I know my knees can’t do the whole way down, but maybe this would still be possible. Sounds amazing.
