Hi Tim,

Maybe a coincidence but in French "Des chutes (d'air)" means falling winds.
"Des chutes" also can mean "rapids" (like for rafting).
Now, was the canyon named after the wind, the rapids or just someone who
happened to be named Deschutes?
I tried to Google it but it seems that there is a Deschutes canyon in Oregon
and one in Utah.

Cheers
Axel
