Mossy Cave

Leaving Bryce and heading towards Arches, I stopped at Mossy Cave. This is technically within the Bryce boundary, but on a different highway and outside the fee area.

The trail parallels a gully that gets its water entirely from an artificial ditch that the early settlers dug. Somehow that makes it less impressive. But it did have the only waterfall I saw on the trip.

The cave is spring fed, so it's natural. It's also boring. Is this the only place in Utah with moss or something?
