There appears to be a disagreement over the meaning and origin of the word "Wasatch". This Wasatch Range article says, "The name Wasatch is derived from an eponymous Native American tribe in the region." But, the Wasatch County page says, "It was named for a Lite Indian word meaning mountain pass or low place in the high mountains." Neither definition cites any references.
If anybody can track down an authoritative reference on which tribe provided the word, and what it originally meant, we should cite it here and in the various other "wasatch" articles. Justin 02:57, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
I would like to find some other source that says that Wasatch means "frozen penis". Sounds pretty suspect to me... bob rulz 21:37, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

(
help)I think the comment of mount olympus being the most prominent mountain in the range is very false. I personally feel that Timpanogos is much more distinct and recognizable. Also, I think there should be a different picture in the frame at the beginning of the article. Its not extremely remarkable, and the panorama of the valley before the gallery is much better IMHO. I don't want to change it if I'm the only one that feels this way though. Epachamo 04:44, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
The geology section could really be more detailed than just stating where the Wasatch is located. Something about the Wasatch fault, about the Precambrian Big Cottonwood Formation and the granite in the Lone Peak Wilderness from the igneous intrusion that helped uplift the Wasatch, etc., would be good. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.191.193.40 ( talk) 01:07, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
I notice that the articles about the Snowbird Ski Resort and the Alta Ski Area refer to peaks called Hidden Peak and Sugarloaf, but those peaks are not mentioned in this article. It seems potentially desirable to have a list of some particular peaks in the range somewhere. — BarrelProof ( talk) 16:13, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
To add to article: a map showing this mountain range. 173.89.236.187 ( talk) 20:01, 10 April 2016 (UTC) The Canadian native peoples word "wasootch" supposedly means "unique" or "solitary" (possibly "solitude"?): https://forums.clubtread.com/31-alberta-hiking/41361-aboriginal-names-places-rockies.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by DGuyA ( talk • contribs) 18:41, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
I think you need to correct the introduction. The Rocky Mountains are at the "Western" edge of the Plains as the Plains are "East" of the Mountains❗️🤠 2600:100F:B075:A523:14F6:8C97:2668:A01B ( talk) 17:12, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
