The Patriarchs are three neighboring sandstone peaks on the west side of Zion Canyon. Each is named after biblical fathers. From left to right (south to north) they are Abraham Peak, Isaac Peak, and Jacob Peak. Abraham Peak is the tallest at 6,890 feet. The white top of Jacob Peak rises behind the orange rock of Mount Moroni. The Patriarchs were named by Frederick Vining Fisher, a Methodist minister who ventured into Zion in 1916, labeling numerous prominent points in Zion Canyon. He decided to name these three peaks after Old Testament daddies, and the titles stuck.

Winter in red rock country brings out the entire color wheel. Early in the morning, before the sun bleaches out the colors in the canyon and brightens the sky, the blues and greens really balance out the bright rocks that pick up the smallest amount of daylight and turn it into fire. It's truly a majestic site, and the key reason there are so many public lands set aside across the Colorado Plateau for future generations to be able to enjoy the splendor.
Congrats on Explore!

The temple was the first place to be struck by the light anywhere in the city of Draper, as far as I could tell.
Rio Grande train No. 752 rolls through a rural landscape at Kirby, Utah (near Spanish Fork) on Aug. 26, 1986. In April 1983, Moroni Feed was cut off from Rio Grande's rail network when Thistle and the Marysvale Branch were flooded and destroyed. Rio Grande created a rail-to-truck transfer along the Tintic Branch in Spanish Fork to continue service to Moroni Feed and the Norbest turkey plant.

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)

This is the San Diego LDS Temple on a cloudy evening at sunset. The lighting and background give it an otherworldly feel. If you ever drive down the 5 Freeway in San Diego, you can't help but notice this striking building. This angle gives a different perspective than usually seen.

The Draper Utah Temple, seen above, enjoys a beautiful view of the Salt Lake Valley from high above Corner Canyon.
The Draper Temple is pictured here in a part of its natural environment. The Salt Lake Valley is to the right. I hope I made the correct choice about how to frame the distant mountains. Objects closer to the foreground seemed to better occupy this frame.
Ideally, this photo should be viewed M medium.
