Which canyon?
Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

The amount of rain predicted on the NOAA site is very low so you're probably good to do something, but I with the long committing nature of Heaps I would pick something else.
Oh and this time of year Heaps is going to be VERY cold so there's that too.

Have you done Heaps before?
Drysuits with booties? Sustained cold water exposure for sure.
Prepared for ice/snow? What you gonna do if there's a big disk of ice floating in a pothole, that won't support your weight, but, might flip and pin/trap you? How you gonna get around that?
Not commonly done this time of year...risky at best...?
