The West Temple


The West Temple is a prominent summit made of Navajo Sandstone in Zion National Park in Washington County of Utah, United States. The feature was originally called Steamboat Mountain before 1934 when the USGS officially changed it to its present name. The West Temple is situated two miles northwest of Springdale, Utah and two miles west of the park headquarters. It is one of the notable landmarks in the park. The nearest higher peak is Windy Peak, to the north. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Virgin River.
