Name
Zion National Park was first named Mukuntuweap National Monument by Geologist John Wesley Powell. Explorer Frederick Samuel Dellenbaugh, a companion to Powell's, illustrated and wrote about the park in Scribner's Magazine, giving publicity to the region. Shortly afterward, Methodist minister Frederick Vining Fisher explored the park along with two Latter-Day Saints youth and among them named many of the peaks in the park. Along with its neighbor peaks, names were chosen from biblical patriarchs.{{cite book |last= Kay|first= Ron|author-link= |date=2008 |title=Ron Kay's Guide to Zion National Park: Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Zion National Park But Didn't Know who to Ask |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tR5OAQAAIAAJ |location= |publisher= Countryman|pages= 90–92|isbn= 9780881507928}}
