The Patriarchs are three neighboring sandstone peaks on the west side of Zion Canyon. Each is named after biblical fathers. From left to right (south to north) they are Abraham Peak, Isaac Peak, and Jacob Peak. Abraham Peak is the tallest at 6,890 feet. The white top of Jacob Peak rises behind the orange rock of Mount Moroni. The Patriarchs were named by Frederick Vining Fisher, a Methodist minister who ventured into Zion in 1916, labeling numerous prominent points in Zion Canyon
It appears to me that you're not tethered to a bus tour as we were with our neighbors! It's not the way I want to leisurely see the sights and capture the photos I want to bring back! I'm so happy to see all you're offering us here!
@Weezilou Oh my goodness, no bus tours. Our tour guide was Chuck's best friend from high school. While there was nothing leisurely about our trip, we also had much freedom. I was concerned enough with having to take the bus within Zion! Turned out to be fine since school had started in much of the US. I am absolutely no fan of crowds and waiting in line, or being on some massive time schedule dictated by others.
