Abraham Peak

Abraham Peak is a 2,000-foot sandstone formation in Zion National Park and the tallest of the Three Patriarchs, a well-known group of summits facing The Sentinel. Its name comes from Zion’s early biblical naming era: during exploration of the area in 1916, Frederick Vining Fisher helped assign many such names, and Claud Hirschi suggested Abraham for the highest summit. The peak is also known in climbing history for two established big-wall routes on its south face, including Munkuntuweap, a name that preserves the area’s earlier designation before Zion replaced Mukuntuweap in 1918. Together these associations tie the peak to Zion’s scenery, exploration, and naming history.
