Mossy Cave Trailhead

Tropic

4.5 (869) Hiking Trail

Mossy Cave Trailhead offers an easy, family-friendly out-and-back hike under one mile that follows flowing creeks to a small waterfall, cave, and scenic hoodoo overhangs. Located conveniently off the highway outside the main park entrance, it serves as an accessible hidden gem for enjoying Bryce Canyon views without a steep trek.

Commenters expressed excitement and found the travel guidance helpful for trip planning, raising logistical questions about e-bike rentals and safety. Discussions also touched on surrounding park hikes, recommending counterclockwise routes to avoid strenuous switchbacks.

  • Hike an easy 0.8 to 1.0-mile round trip trail suitable for all skill levels
  • Visit between May and September for optimal trail conditions
  • Access the trailhead directly off the highway outside the main park gate
  • Leave pets at home as dogs are not allowed on the trail
  • Enjoy views of a waterfall, cave, and hoodoos without hiking deep into the canyon
