About 16 miles north of Duchesne you should see this sign en route to the Swift Creek TH. In the context, the word "Uintahs" is misspelled; it should read "Uintas."

Spelling Uinta vs Uintah

If interested, Uintah is the original spelling. It was JW Powell who dropped the "h" (intentionally) in his publications because he thought it to be redundant.

Uintah County (Utah), Uintah Lake, and the town of Uintah still retain the "h".
