Is it possible to stay socially distant at the Grand Canyon

I'm moving cross country and therefore driving cross county. My friend and copilot has his heart set on seeing the Grand Canyon. I'd love to see it too, but have to be following super stringent social distancing. Can you "see" the Grand Canyon without leaving your car or encountering others?

Last week, y'all helped me plan how to pack my car to move cross country; this week, I need some help figuring out how to make my co-pilot's Grand Canyon dreams come true.

I'm moving to start a new job that will have me in close contact with others, and while I know nothing is failsafe, I need to be doing everything I can NOT to get covid during this trip. (I'll be quarantining and getting tested before this contact with others begins, but it's very important that I be able to start work when that quarantine period ends and obviously if I'm sick that's going to be tricky.) To this end, we're trying to get across very quickly, won't be using public restrooms or rest stops, wearing masks AND face shields when we do have to deal with public places, etc etc.

Except, my saint of a friend who is doing this with me really and desperately wants to stop and see the Grand Canyon. I really want to make this happen for him. Is it possible to see the canyon without having to leave our car, ideally while being able to pop out briefly at a viewpoint? It'd be on a weekday so I assume it won't be terribly crowded, but crowds at all are a concern.

It's fine if this is a quick thing versus a proper full experience; he just wants to see it.

If the answer is absolutely no this is a stupid idea, I'm more than happy to hear that too! Not getting sick is still the most important thing, and my friend will survive if we can't make this happen on this trip.
