She walked upward along the stream that flowed down from the top of the mountain. She walked past the lake with green waters (now known as Emerald Lake), ran to the edge of the cliff and jumped to her death, just as her Father had instructed her to do. Her tiny form lay at the bottom of the cliff near the green lake. The chief wept.

Utahna, the princess is represented by the outline of the mountain as she lies there, her heart forever entombed in the Timpanogos Cave.

Another Ute legend tells of the origin of Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon. A beautiful Indian princess named Norita upon hearing that her warrior sweetheart was killed in battle wanted to join him in the Happy Hunting Grounds. Dressed in her wedding clothes, with lovely beads around her neck, she climbed to a spot above the falls and threw herself over the falls! Out of respect for the depth of her love for her warrior sweetheart, the falls parted to form a bridal veil of cascading waters.

Mount Timpanogos is the most prominent landmark in Utah County. Its mountain roads and parks give peace and beauty to many, and its legends add interest to the rich pioneer heritage of the area.
