Tropic Ditch Waterfall - Bryce Canyon - Waterfalls on Waymarking.com

Completed in 1892, pioneers using primitove tools labored for more than two years to complete a canal, known as the Tropic Ditch, to bring water to the semi-arid valley below. To reduce the amount of necessary digging, they planned the route using natural water courses whenever possible, including the normally dry wash known as Water Canyon you see before you.

Within Bryce Canyon National Park, the water still flows along the original route envisioned by those hardy souls. Except for the severe drought of 2002, the water has flowed continuously for over a century, and the lives of families living in and around the town of Tropic still benefit from the efforts of those pioneers.
