A place like no other near Zion National Park in Utah
In Zion Canyon, there is a rock formation with three striated peaks called Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. These peaks were named by Dr. Frederick Vining Fischer, a Methodist minister who visited the area in 1916 and named various features in Zion after religious figures. The Court of the Patriarchs can be found approximately one-third of the way up Zion Canyon. While it is visible from the road, there is also a short 0.2-mile round-trip trail available for hikers to reach a more advantageous viewpoint.
When you visit Zion Canyon, many recent visitors highly recommend checking out the Court of the Patriarchs. It’s a must-see attraction according to them! Instead of just looking at it from the shuttle stop, they suggest taking a short but steep hike to the viewpoint. This way, you can get a closer and more immersive experience. To make things even better, there’s an interpretive sign available to help you identify the different peaks in the area. So, don’t miss out on this opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the Court of the Patriarchs up close!
