Description
The Mossy Cave Trail in Bryce National Park is an easy walk through Water Canyon which holds flowing water at least half the year during summer and fall. However, the stream is not natural, instead originating from Tropic Ditch on top of the Paunsaugunt Plateau; this irrigation channel was constructed by Mormon settlers between 1890 and 1892 to supply water to Cannonville and Tropic in the dry season when the Paria River stops flowing. At a fork along the trail, taking the right branch leads upstream to this waterfall, where the stream tumbles 15 feet over a ledge.
