It is the location of the unofficially-named Alfred Creek Falls, which cascades down a sheer rock wall onto an alluvial fan and is one of North America's highest waterfalls.〔(Waterfalls of the Pacific Northwest: Alfred Creek Falls )〕 ==Name origin== The name is derived from that of Mount Alfred, which was named in 1860 after the second son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and Duke of Edinburgh from his birth in 1844 until his death in 1900.
