Wallalute Falls is a large waterfall located on Compass Creek on the north slopes of Mount Hood in the Hood River County, Oregon, at an elevation of 4,879 feet (1,487 m). For many years maps have mislabeled the location of Wallalute Falls locating it on the Eliot Branch of the West Fork Hood River, one canyon over from Compass Creek where it is still labeled on maps today. Historical documentation in Jack Grauer's book A Complete History of Mt Hood, however, provides 1890s-era photos of two waterfalls located in this area, one labeled Wallalute and one labeled "Strawnahans" (a misspelling of the last name of Oscar Stranahan, a local pioneer), where only "Strawnahans" Falls is a photographic match to the actual waterfall located on the Eliot Branch visible from the Cloud Cap road at Inspira

  • Wallalute Falls is a large waterfall located on Compass Creek on the north slopes of Mount Hood in the Hood River County, Oregon, at an elevation of 4,879 feet (1,487 m). For many years maps have mislabeled the location of Wallalute Falls locating it on the Eliot Branch of the West Fork Hood River, one canyon over from Compass Creek where it is still labeled on maps today. Historical documentation in Jack Grauer's book A Complete History of Mt Hood, however, provides 1890s-era photos of two waterfalls located in this area, one labeled Wallalute and one labeled "Strawnahans" (a misspelling of the last name of Oscar Stranahan, a local pioneer), where only "Strawnahans" Falls is a photographic match to the actual waterfall located on the Eliot Branch visible from the Cloud Cap road at Inspiration Point. Photos published on Internet hiking forum OregonHikers.org in 2011 have provided the first modern documented photographs of the large falls located on Compass Creek. According to Jack Grauers book, the original name of the falls on the Eliot Branch is "Strawnahans" Falls but the photograph captioned "Wallalute" Falls had no modern photographic match. Photographs taken during the 2011 explorations of Compass Creek provide an exact match between the largest waterfall located on Compass Creek and the 1890s Wallalute Falls photograph, proving that the maps are mis-labeled. The name Wallalute is a local Native American name meaning "strong water" and was chosen as the name for the large falls on Compass Creek by local pioneer Ann Lang. The actual height of Wallalute Falls on Compass Creek is as yet unknown. There is another smaller waterfall just downstream of the original Wallalute historically named Canon Balls Falls located adjacent to a place referenced as "Adam's Hole". Shortly after the 2011 explorations of Compass Creek's canyon, The burned most of this area. (en)
