File:The Three Patriarchs in Zion Canyon.jpg

Summary

English: 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 — 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.

Wikipedia for Schools is one of SOS Children's many educational projects. SOS Children believes education is an important part of a child's life. That's why we ensure they receive nursery care as well as high-quality primary and secondary education. When they leave school, we support the children in our care as they progress to vocational training or higher education. Why not try to find out more about sponsoring a child?
