Summary

English: The Three Patriarchs are visible from the Zion Canyon Visitor Center 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 — of the Glen Canyon Group.
  • 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.
