Just hang around /r/VisitingIceland for awhile. You’ll get all the poorly-composed broad daylight cellphone photos of this spot you could possible handle.

FYI, there’s some debate whether Wyeast is really Mt Hood’s original name, or if it even had a common name throughout the region at all: https://www.columbian.com/news/2017/jun/11/anthropologist-dispelling-myths-with-plankhouse-talk/
The doesn’t seem to be any evidence of it prior to the late 19th century via a white author. The guy interviewed here (who’s an athropologist and member of a local tribe) thinks it was probably made up.

“It’s possible to see this on a day trip that passes through Sisters, Oregon” doesn’t have the same ring to it.

I don’t think any of the big cascades are named for local people. Mt St Helens and Mt Hood’s namesake never even came to US.
