Wy'east Falls


Wy'east Falls is a waterfall on a small tributary of Eagle Creek in Hood River County, Oregon, U.S.
The waterfall is formed by Wy'East Creek, a spring-fed stream that plunges over the Eagle Creek basalt formation. The creek cuts through a narrow and steep ravine and spills off a basalt ledge, plunging in a thin sheet about wide, into a shallow, gravelly pool. The creek then flows for about before emptying into Eagle Creek shortly downstream of Tunnel Falls.

Name

The waterfall was named Wy'east after the nearby campsite, which in turn takes its name from the local indigenous name for the nearby volcano Mount Hood.
