The Sentinel sits across from the Court of the Patriarchs, and it's one of the most prominent figures in the park. Thousands of years ago a huge section of the Sentinel is believed to have broken away, damming the Virgin River. This created a lake in the northern section of the canyon. This lake may have stood for a thousand years before the river finally broke free.
