Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

Mossy Cave trail – Bryce Canyon National Park Day 1

After about a three hour drive from home via breakfast at Jacob Lake Inn we made our first stop at the Mossy Cave trailhead, a little side trip before entering the main park.

01 Hoodoos above Mossy Cave trail Bryce Canyon NP UT (1024x755)

We were blown away by the towering hoodoos leading us into this canyon as we followed The Tropic Ditch. Because the landscape didn’t offer enough water for farming a 10-mile ditch was hand dug by early Mormon settlers.

Now referred to as Water Canyon the trail climbs 200 feet (61m) to Mossy Cave.

This grotto forms as an underground spring seeps from the rocks.
