Dead Horse Pass, 1923

Eric Robinson took his final photographs at the base of Dead Horse Pass on the Uinta Highline Trail. The name "Dead Horse" is literal: the rocks below the pass are littered with the bones of perished pack animals. But who first coined the name? Uinta Triangle host Dave Cawley suggests it came from a pioneer painter named George Beard, who was one of the first people to carry a camera into the heart of the High Uintas.
