Mossy Cave Trail

Bryce Canyon National Park, located in southwestern Utah, is a stunning natural amphitheater filled with otherworldly geologic features called hoodoos. These tall, thin spires of rock were formed by millions of years of erosion from wind, rain, and freezing and thawing cycles. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks create a visually striking landscape, especially at sunrise and sunset when the sunlight paints the hoodoos in vibrant hues. Unlike many national parks with a single large canyon, Bryce Canyon is actually a collection of natural amphitheaters carved into the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. The park is much smaller than nearby Zion National Park, but it sits at a much higher elevation, ranging from 8,000 to 9,000 feet. This high elevation results in a cooler climate and even occasional snowfall in the winter.
