Overview
About this park
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).
Setting
Landscape & setting
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.
Background
History & notes
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", 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.
