Isaac Peak

Nature
Isaac Peak is a 6,726-foot rock formation in Zion National Park in southwestern Utah, the middle of the Three Patriarchs between Abraham Peak and Jacob Peak. Its name comes from an early phase in the park’s modern naming history, when biblical names were given to many summits; Isaac Peak was named for the patriarch Isaac at the suggestion of Claud Hirschi during an exploration led by Frederick Vining Fisher. The formation is also a notable climbing destination, with established routes including Tricks of the Trade, Sands of Time, Freeloader, and Iron Like a Lion in Zion. Seasonal climbing closures protect raptor nesting areas.
