Hiking down to the river and back up in one day is not for the faint if heart, especially if there’s any heat.  When I was there, there were signs everywhere warning against trying it.  I would do it if I were alone or with a fit hiking partner.  
The Virgin River in Zion was neat, but Angels Landing blew it away IMO.  Coolest 2.5 hour day hike in America.  And I agree—the tunnel exit from the east is something to see.  

Yeah it was like the start of June so not cool by any means.  That was why I was starting so early. Was going to go down South Kaibab. Hoped to be at Phantom Ranch by 745-800 or so and then head up around 1 and stop to rest at the water points on Bright Angel.  I had been practicing in the heat here.

I've hiked rim-to-rim twice.  The first time was down the North Kaibab in mid-June.  It was 37F at the top when we started and around 120F when we got to Phantom Ranch (the next day).  I didn't know whether to wear long johns or a tank top.

Not sure what travel has to do with Covid, but had my 1st shot at VA in the 'boro. No problems, never felt the shot, not sore, back for #2 , Feb. 22.
