Mossy Cave, located 3.5 miles east of the intersection of highways 12 and 63, appears at the end of a short trail. 
Here both hoodoos  and windows can be seen without climbing a steep, strenuous trail. This canyon (also know as Water Canyon) is part of a canal, carved by Mormon pioneers between 1890 and 1892. Utilizing picks and shovels, they forged an irrigation ditch through the Paunsaugunt Plateau, from the east fork of the Sevier River into this canyon. Since then, this Tropic Ditch has supplied water to the communities of Tropic and Cannonville. Mossy Cave is a grotto a shelter cave, where — depending on the season — visitors will see a large overhang filled either with moss or with giant icicles. The presence of water makes this canyon unique.   -210 220 2 84
