Greyhound pit is a scenic open air pit located in the high karst plateau of a Utah alpine plain. 

The vertical extent of this pit appears to be around 100 feet. 

The initial drop is around 60 ft. down to a pile of snow. The drop is a nice open air drop with a lot of moss on the walls and flowstone drapery. 

This cave appears to have a big room feel but it ended quickly as most all of the other caves in the area. 

Another interesting aspect about the cave is that there was snow at the bottom along with some interesting formations. 

I was hoping to capture better photos than what I got but these work out pretty well. 

Can Can Pit is another 60-80 footer that has a room in-between the drop.  The drop into the room is a bit awkward and the continuation into the lower level is also awkward to get into.   The large boulder that is in the way will need to be negotiated around. This pit was not on the top of my list but it was a worthy stop on the hike.  These photos are looking down into the bottom 30 ft. of the pit. 

Pyrite pit is another high elevation pit that is located in Utah's high karst plateau. 

This Pit has two vertical rooms that are both accessible to get off at, on rope.  

This bottom room was decorated for the area with flowstone and some interesting formations. The room ended so it is just a blind pit. 

WE snapped a few photos in this room and started our way out of the cave to head over to the numerous other caves within the region. 

This was my favorite pit out of the others that are in the area and I highly recommend this cave.
