Dead Ox Canyon (Utah)
Dead Ox Canyon is a canyon in southern Morgan County, Utah, United States.[1]
Description
The canyon is located in the Wasatch Range. It begins just north of the Dead Ox summit and then runs roughly east for about 3 miles (4.8 km) until it reaches its mouth in East Canyon, within the East Canyon State Park and just south of the East Canyon Reservoir.[2]
Dead Ox Canyon received its name from an incident when oxen escaped their owners and were found dead.[3]
