Vishnu Temple, Summit in Grand Canyon, Arizona, United States.
The Vishnu Temple stands at 7,533 feet above sea level, rising 4,900 feet over the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park.
Clarence Dutton named this mountain formation in 1880, while the first recorded climb to its peak occurred by Merrel Clubb and his son in 1945.
The peak received its name from Vishnu, a Hindu deity, as part of a naming pattern of Grand Canyon features after mythological figures.
The summit requires class 4 climbing skills to reach its peak, with access points located near the Cape Royal overlook on the canyon's North Rim.
The peak consists of Permian Coconino Sandstone formed from ancient sand dunes 265 million years ago, topped with a Kaibab Limestone caprock.
