2005 - Mossy Cave Waterfall (near Bryce National Park)


Visited on 20 September 2005. © 2006
While cycling towards Bryce National Park we passed the Mossy Cave trail. We went exploring this short trail. When you take the left fork of the trail you'll will go up to the Mossy Cave. Mossy Cave is not a cavern but a shelter cave. Here depending on the season, you will either see a large overhang filled with moss, or filled with giant icicles. Mossy Cave is a grotto, created by an underground spring. When you take the right fork of the trail and you'll end up above a small waterfall where we took this panoramic picture.

Bryce Canyon National Park is a national park located in southwestern Utah in the United States. Contained within the park is Bryce Canyon. Despite its name, this is not actually a canyon, but rather a giant natural amphitheater created by erosion along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to its unique geological structures, called hoodoos, formed from wind, water, and ice erosion of the river and lakebed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views.
