Not all dogs are good about it, but Lucy didn't mind rappelling Ruffware makes a climbing rated harness for dogs that has worked well for me https://ruffwearcom/collections/harnesses/products/doubleback-harness I always rappelled with her like I would an injured human parnter, with device extended above us and her at my side Worked well for us

Coyote Gulch is really amazing If the roads are dry to get all the way out there, that is an excellent place to visit Lots of shallow wading, but do-able with neoprene socks or something else to keep your feet warm About 20 miles, so a bit longer than you are asking for, but goes by very fast I thought https://wwwroadtripryancom/go/t/utah/escalante/coyote-gulch Good luck, stay warm wherever you end up!

Looking at the Sentinel satellite view from 4/4/22 in Caltopo there are visible "small" patches of snow "Small" at the resolution of these images could easily stop a car and that is ignoring any mud from snowmelt This link may allow you to view the image the Sentinel requires a paid subscription: https://caltopocom/m/7788G

Little Brush Creek Cave is currently the longest mapped cave system in Utah, with a total of about 7 miles of mapped passages The cave, on the southern slope of the Uinta Mountains near Vernal, is well-known for its length, but also the ice formations that develop in the winter Why the ice Little Brush Creek cave sits at a cool altitude of 8,160 feet Its entrance, located at the bottom of a cul-de-sac canyon with a disappearing stream, acts as a cold trap, capturing dense, cold air descending from higher elevations...

Big Brush Creek Cave is only about 5 miles away from Little Brush Creek Cave as the crow flies, and is currently the second longest mapped cave in Utah The current mapped length of all the passages is about 5 miles This cave, like Little Brush Creek Cave, also contains ice columns in the winter and spring Unlike Little Brush Creek Cave, this one is more difficult to reach in the winter, so most will want to visit summer through fall Spring snowmelt can cause flowing ...

Anchors still look good on this route, water level is low right now so first two potholes were completely dry, the final one before the first rappel is still a swimmer but we were able to leap to the ledge on the right side and not get wet! Lots of poison ivy at the bottom of 2nd rap Did a double rope rappel for 2nd rap but one 70m dynamic climbing rope gets you to the bottom with rope to spareGet a free arches permit before you go      https://archespermitsnpsgov/
