Hike #41 - Mossy Cave Trail, Bryce Canyon, UT










Paul and I travelled to Bryce Canyon in July 2012 to run a 1/2 marathon and to do as many hikes as we could fit in.  The Mossy Cave Trail is .4 miles one way with 150' elevation gain. It is an easy hike that follows a stream which Mormon pioneers dug as an irrigation ditch in the early 1800's.  There is a nice waterfall at the end of the hike."The grotto or cave is a shallow alcove filled with moss. Dripping water feeds the moss and provides a  delightful retreat from the summer sun." http://www.zionnational-park.com/bryce-canyon-mossy.htm
