But anyway, that trail section just past the the bridge at Snow Creek isn't actually all that "boring". Trailside and close in, sure, but move out toward Tenaya Canyon in the direction of Watkin's Pinnacle, and those views open right up to the canyon walls, with sites to be found (legal ones).
We used to camp on the flats exclusively when we passed through where you took that pic before the bear closure because the view and face of Half Dome are amazing and humbling when you get close and slightly lower in elevation nearer the edge of cliff, but be what may now in that area because of the restrictions, as always, and in most situations, the sites and the exciting views aren't usually trailside anywhere you go. Finding the "gems" take more patience and work than moving forward and a cursory scan only.
