## Name

Zion National Park was first named Mukuntuweap National Monument by Geologist [John Wesley Powell](/source/John_Wesley_Powell). Explorer [Frederick Samuel Dellenbaugh](/source/Frederick_Samuel_Dellenbaugh), a companion to Powell's, illustrated and wrote about the park in [Scribner's Magazine](/source/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.[2] The name for Isaac Peak was suggested by Claud Hirschi,[3] one of the youth with Fisher and named after [Isaac](/source/Isaac).[4]
