The Sentinel is a 7120feet elevation Navajo Sandstone summit located near the Court of the Patriarchs in Zion National Park, in Washington County of southwest Utah, United States, that is part of the Towers of the Virgin. The national park map lists the elevation as 7,157-feet.
The Sentinel is located 1.5miles north of Zion's park headquarters, towering 3000feet above the park road and the floor of Zion Canyon. It is set alongside the North Fork of the Virgin River which drains precipitation runoff from this mountain. Its neighbors include Bee Hive, Mount Spry, The East Temple, Mount Moroni, Mountain of the Sun, Twin Brothers, and the Three Patriarchs. This feature's name was officially adopted in 1934 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. In 1995, a landslide at the base of The Sentinel dammed the Virgin River and washed out a section of the park road. The Sentinel was once much bigger before a huge rock avalanche fell from it, when 4,800 years ago the Sentinel Slide with a volume of 286 million cubic meters File:The Sentinel in Zion.jpg|South aspect File:Sentinel Slide in Zion Canyon.jpg|Sentinel SlideFile:The Sentinel autumn.jpg|The Sentinel in autumnFile:The Sentinel through the Cottonwoods.jpg|The Sentinel through the CottonwoodsFile:An inactive volcano.jpgFile:Zion, First Light, Hint of Things to Come 4-30-14i (14203453091).jpg|Sunrise.
