Wallalute Falls is a large waterfall on Compass Creek on Mount Hood’s north slopes in Oregon, about 4,879 feet above sea level. Its name, meaning “strong water,” comes from a local Native American word and was chosen by pioneer Ann Lang. The falls became notable for a persistent mapping error: for years, maps placed Wallalute Falls in a different canyon on the Eliot Branch of the West Fork Hood River, where the visible waterfall is instead identified by historical evidence as Strawnahans Falls. The actual height of Wallalute Falls remains unknown. Nearby were Canon Balls Falls and Adam’s Hole, in an area later heavily burned after 2011 explorations.
