Mnt Moroni in morning light - Zion NP

Mount Moroni is located immediately southwest of Zion Lodge, towering 1,400-feet (425 meters) above the lodge and the floor of Zion Canyon. It is set alongside the North Fork of the Virgin River which drains precipitation runoff from this mountain.

It is named for Angel Moroni, who presented Joseph Smith with the golden plates from which he translated and published the Book of Mormon. (Wikipedia)
