cave near zion/bryce canyon in utah

I saw on a person’s story the other day like a cave made out of sandstone that if you go all the way in there is a hole that goes super deep the guy didnt go into it but it looked like the hole went on a for a long time. Has anyone else seen this cave?

Probably not gonna get an answer here, cave locations are regarded as top secret amongst this community.

Are caves gatekept in the UK like they are in the US?

The UK has rambler laws // isn't lawsuit obsessed and the UK also has extremely miserable caves. Combine those two things and you have very open cave information.

It's the US. Private property means trespassing and concern for landowners being liable / sued. Public lands means idiot "gem collectors" bash every single shiny rock or formation trying to sell it on Facebook marketplace.

On top of that, whenthe caves are often 50°F, plenty of walking passage, little water, and easily poached by idiots and easily destroyed by vandalism.....

It just plays a bit differently. 🤷‍♀️
