I've walked this section of the Rim trail a couple times this week, so I wanted to share some photos. It is stunning terrain, featuring a number of promontories (called "points") that jut out into the canyon. These are very popular at sunrise and sunset, and while cars aren't allowed on the road you can reach these lookouts by a free shuttle bus, by bike or on foot. The shuttle is super convenient, as it connects to the Village shuttle.
Here's one of the points, not sure which one.
Trees don't get to move around much, so it's really important to pick a good location.
There are many wonderfully twisted spruce and pinyon trees on the rim. This one was in the running for most picturesque. Note the pair of ravens to the right of the tree. Ravens really like circling around the rim.
I think this shrub is cliff rose. Desert plants are amazing.

This is Hermit's Rest. As you can see the hermit is resting.
