The waterfall is formed by Wy'East Creek,[2] a spring-fed stream that plunges 140 feet (43 m) 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 10 feet (3.0 m) wide, into a shallow, gravelly pool. The creek then flows for about 300 feet (91 m) 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.[3]

gollark: PwnCC *said* something about a zero-day, but I'm not entirely sure about that one since it was never demonstrated. I still don't recommend running it except on stuff you don't need much and can easily stick in a disk drive for formatting.
gollark: I meant "probably nobody bothered much".
gollark: Probably.
gollark: I do think it's at least resonably secure though.
