Abraham and Issac: Zion National Park, September 2001 During the summer of 2001, Rachelle and I took a vacation to visit National Parks and Monuments in Utah and Arizona. The second stop on our trip was Zion National Park. After visiting the Zion Canyon Visitor Center, we boarded a tram to take the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive. Our first stop was the Court of the Patriarchs Viewpoint, which provides an excellent viewpoint for the three mountains named for the Old Testament patriarchs, Abraham, Issac and Jacob. The mountain on the left is Abraham and the one to the right is Issac. (via Robby Edwards’ Photos)
