In the language of the native Ute people, Wasatch means "mountain pass" or "low pass over high range." [wiki]
There must be other Ute words that are better.

Sinawava is Coyote, the culture hero of Ute and Chemehuevi mythology. Though he is a trickster figure whose frivolous, irresponsible behavior is constantly causing trouble for everyone around him, Coyote also plays a more serious role as benefactor and teacher of the people.
