Wy'east Falls

Eagle Creek Trailhead to Wy'East Camp on the Eagle Creek Trail, then the Wy'East Creek crossing

Oregon Hikers gives 4.7 miles on foot from Eagle Creek Trailhead to Wy'East Camp. The falls are about 100 yards up Wy'East Creek from the camp area. No source gives a separate round-trip figure for this waterfall.

Well-graded trail, but several sections are cut into cliff faces above vertical drops, with cable handrails. Oregon Hikers says it is not the best trail for dogs or small children. The scramble up Wy'East Creek is off the trail.

Where to start

Eagle Creek Trailhead at the end of the road in the Eagle Creek Recreation Area, reached from I-84 Exit 41 (eastbound only; from the east, use the Bonneville Dam exit and come back west). Park only in designated spaces. The lot fills early; Oregon Hikers names the Eagle Creek Day Use Trailhead as the alternative. Oregon Hikers warns of frequent car break-ins here.

Timing & water

The falls shrink to a trickle by the end of summer, so spring and early summer give the best flow.

Before you go

Oregon Hikers says a Northwest Forest Pass or America the Beautiful Pass is required, with a drop box for a day pass at the trailhead.
