Great views on the canyon in the 3 miles before Point Imperial. However, the trail is not well maintained (many thorny bushes block the trail; out of the 3 miles we did, I'd say we fought these bushes for a total of one mile). The forest towards Cape Royal is clear and open. Don't try to hike along the canyon near Point Imperial IMHO.
