FormationEdit
Lava Canyon Falls was formed by the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens, which caused a lahar and flood which scoured out a canyon that had been filled with dirt and mud for 1,800 years. The Muddy River's course was redirected to that canyon as a result of the lahar and the floods, and it drops 1,400 feet (426 meters) in 2 miles (3.2 km). Lava Canyon Falls is the largest, 200 foot sheer drop.
LocationEdit
On the southeast side of Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument at 46.1701°N 122.0826°W / 46.1701; -122.0826, at 2,440 feet.
