"Mossy Cave Falls"
"Mossy Cave Falls" is a name I made up for this tiny 15ft waterfall near Mossy Cave. The car park for the Mossy Cave is just a few minutes east of the turnoff for Bryce Canyon National Park's main area (Highway 63) on Highway 12. From there, it's a round trip walk of less than a mile to see both the Mossy Cave as well as this waterfall. What's unusual about this waterfall is its presence amongst hoodoos. However, its watercourse was dug up as part of a ditch that channeled water to Tropic. Thus, this waterfall isn't natural so it technically doesn't count. I've seen this waterfall when it was trickling in early April 2003 as well as when it was gushing in September 2006. I think its flowing state (i.e. whether it's gushing or trickling) totally depends on how much rainfall or Paunsaugunt Plateau snowmelt has occured recently. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
