Nature
Lady Mountain is a 6,945-foot Navajo Sandstone summit in Zion National Park, rising just west of Zion Lodge and about 2,700 feet above the lodge and Zion Canyon along the North Fork Virgin River. Once called Cliff Dwelling Mountain and Mount Zion, it received its official name in 1934 from markings early visitors believed resembled a lady’s face. Surrounded by famous formations, it became notable in the park’s early tourism history when the National Park Service built a cable-and-ladder climbing route to its summit in 1925. That route was later removed after numerous rescues and fatalities on the mountain’s steep sandstone slopes.
