"A New Valley of Wonders" Artist Frederick S. Dellenbaugh published an article about Zion Canyon in the January 1904 issue of Scribner's Magazine. Speaking of the Great Temple, he said: One hardly knows just how to think of it. Never before has such a naked mountain of rock entered our minds. Without a shred of disguise its transcendent form rises pre-eminent [sic]. There is almost nothing to compare to it. Niagara has the beauty of energy; the Grand Canyon of immensity; the Yellowstone of singularity; the Yosemite of altitude; the ocean of power; this Great Temple of eternity.
