Bryce Canyon National Park is such a beautiful and interesting place, why wouldn't you be back!?
Inspiration Point leads to a view overlooking Bryce Amphitheater, the picture you see on most Bryce Canyon maps or booklets. It's pretty awesome! The trail to view this incredible feature is quite steep but short. I had to put my knee brace on for this one.
Inspiration Point at 8,100 ft.
After Inspiration Point, we were both getting to the point where we wanted to do a short hike and call it a day. We looked at the map and saw there was a 1/4 mile hike (just my style), where you walk stream-side to a waterfall. The point is called Mossy Cave and although on the map says it's a part of the park, you actually cannot access it from the park. We figured at this point Mossy Cave would be our finale for the day, so we hopped on the bike and drove the 7-8 miles to our destination.
This was definitely my favorite part of the entire day. Instead of looking down on and walking "on top" of the hoodoos, we were on a trail under the hoodoos! We had a whole different view point from underneath, it was just so cool and whoa, what a view! Plus, we were able to walk beside a beautiful fast flowing stream...something we haven't done this whole journey.
The trail led to a fork where you could turn left to go to the cave or turn right to go towards the waterfall...we turned right!

We hiked up that trail!!! |
We were having more fun at the waterfall, so we went back to play in the water.
