Red Canyon

This looks like Bryce Canyon National Park, but indeed this area is known as Mossy Cave, which is outside the main section of Bryce. As the name implies, Mossy Cave is a wet grotto filled with moss. In winter the dripping water that feeds the moss turns into icicles. I went there in summer and thus there is nothing interesting in Mossy Cave to photograph. Nonetheless, the red hoodoos in the area under sunset are very beautiful. This area is also called Water Canyon because there is a stream running across the canyon, but this is not natural. The river was made to provide nearby communities with water, and as a result, it washed away hoodoos along the way. The last photo was taken in Red Canyon, which is very close to Mossy Cave.
