However, Loowit could not decide which god to choose and instead chose to remain neutral. This angered the gods, and they began to fight over her. The battle was so intense that it caused the earth to shake and the mountains to crumble. In the end, the gods were turned into mountains, with Wy'east becoming Mount Hood, Pahto becoming Mount Adams, and Loowit becoming Mount St. Helens.The legend also explains the creation of Multnomah Falls, which was said to be the tears of Loowit falling from Mount St. Helens.
