Description
💕Explore Zion National Park Travel Art, in my "Zion National Park-Utah" Collection💕
Here we are in Zion National Park, Utah (USA). Before us stands the famous rock formations, "Court Of The Patriarchs." Named for three towering figures of the Bible, these sandstone cliffs hold court over Birch Creek Canyon and this section of the Virgin River.
In 1916, Frederick Vining Fisher, a Methodist minister, gave the religious names to these peaks. Today, it is not hard to imagine how the grandeur of this view could inspire him to do so.
To get to this spot, one has to walk from Zion Canyon Scenic Drive, Shuttle Stop 4, up to "Sand Bench Trail." Just a start to the beauty that one can enjoy. The "Court Of The Patriarchs" is a gorgeous backdrop to the colors of Autumn, and the lovely waterfall of the North Fork Virgin River (the water is not flowing as heavy as it was in April of 2017).
So at this spot, I ask myself, "Who's Holding Court?"

I am curious to know how you reached many of these places, since the park management seems to control access by car to many places.
Janet Marie replied:
Pat, the east entrance to Zion National Park is open to cars, but getting into the main part of the park is by way of the Park Shuttle system. During the shuttle season visitors cannot drive personal vehicles on Zion Canyon Scenic Drive. I do give information how I got to this spot. We have visited this place over 30 times, since 1988. We haven't been since 2018. My daughter and son-in-law just visited there during the Thanksgiving holiday (Wednesday-Sunday). For the best information, visit the Zion National Park website. Thank you for your interest in visiting my collection of work, and sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate it!
Janet Marie replied:
I also wanted to mention that my husband painted this scene, and has it posted on Fine Art America. Check it out if you have a chance.
Debby Pueschel
WOW. FL
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you, Debby! Since you couldn't be there in person, I am delighted that you could take a trip by way of my Zion National Park gallery. This photograph inspired my artist husband to produce a large size, gorgeous painting of this. It hangs in our art studio, where it wows me everytime I see it.

One of my favorite stretches of real estate in the entire world. I love the trees along the Virgin River, especially as they give way to the towering cliffs that take your breath away. This is a gorgeous image, my artBUDette. I love everything about it from the large boulders, the fallen tree, the colorful leaves and the majestic peaks. L/F Featured in American Desert Southwest. Happy Thanksgiving, my dear friend!
