Image:The Three Patriarchs in Zion Canyon.jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Photo taken by Daniel Mayer in August 2004.

The Three Patriarchs are visible from the Zion Canyon Visitor Centre and Watchman Campground Area. The massive cliffs consist of Lower Jurassic-age formations, including (from bottom to top): the Moenave Formation, the Kayenta Formation, and the massive Navajo Sandstone. These Jurassic-aged cliff-forming formations overlie older slope-forming formations along river level: the Moenkopi Formation (Lower Triassic) and the Chinle Formation (Upper Triassic). The cliffs tops in Zion Canyon range roughly 2,000 feet above stream level.
