While not the tallest of the peaks in Utah's LaSal Range, Mt. Tukuhnikivatz is easily the most difficult to pronounce.

Jim, Great capture. When I was in Moab, I saw that range and did not know it was LaSal Range, Mt. Tukuhnikivatz. I do now thanks to you. Have you hiked that range? Best, Stan

Great shot.
Tell me, do the locals call it Mt. Tuku? or Tukuhn?
Floridians shorten Lake Tohopekaliga to Lake Toho, as well as the Econlockhatchee River to the the Econ.

We mostly just call it 'Tuk.'

Legend has it that the Spanish named these mountains the 'LaSals' supposedly because when they first came through along what would become the Spanish Trail (from Santa Fe NM out to their missions in California), they came through in July, saw white on the tops of the mountains, and figured since it was as hot as it would probably have been the white they were seeing had to be salt. Personally, I wouldn't know if that legend has any legs since I wasn't there to hear their speculations, and I don't speak Spanish anyhow.
Unlike the other peaks (Peale, Waas, Melanthin, etc.) in the range, Tuk was named for a Ute Indian chief of some repute. Overall, the LaSals are the tallest mountains on the Colorado Plateau.
I've hiked and camped here and there a number of times --many locals do during the heat of summer--, but never felt the urge to top any of the peaks. Did my 'mountain' thing in the Whites and Presidentials in New Hampshire when I was a lot younger.
