The Three Patriarchs are three sandstone monoliths on the west side of Zion Canyon in Zion National Park, Utah. Once called the Three Wise Men, the formation is now associated with the biblical patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, names given to the three main peaks by Frederick Fisher in 1916. Their south face includes the Court of the Patriarchs, part of the same canyon wall that makes this one of Zion’s most recognizable rock groupings. The formation rises in a cold semi-arid climate with less than 10 inches of annual rainfall, most of it falling in spring and summer, while winters usually bring light snowfall.
