Similar to an earlier post cropped to a square, these three peaks in Zion National Park are known as the Three Patriarchs (Abraham Peak, Isaac Peak, and Jacob Peak, from left to right). Named for three towering figures of the Old Testament, these sandstone cliffs hold court over Birch Creek Canyon and this section of the Virgin River. In 1916 Frederick Vining Fisher, a Methodist minister, gave the names to the peaks. Today it is not hard to imagine how the grandeur of this view could inspire such reverence.
