The creek cuts through a narrow and steep ravine and spills off a basalt ledge, plunging in a thin sheet about {{convert|10|ft|m}} wide, into a shallow, gravelly pool. The creek then flows for about {{convert|300|ft|m}} before emptying into Eagle Creek shortly downstream of Tunnel Falls. NameThe 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] See also
