An Interesting Eagle Lake Geology Report

Gallatin Beach and Peak, July 22, 1974.

The geology of Eagle Lake is unique. It is a mixture of Sierra Nevada spillover (Gallatin Peak) and the Cascades that flanked Gallatin on both sides. One can see transition from the tailing pile remnants of Bly Tunnel. The inlet consisted of  decomposed granite (Sierra) while the outlet tailings is red volcanic cinder (Cascade).

In  2017 U.S.G.S. released   Age of the Youngest Volcanism at Eagle Lake, Northeastern California. It is only a 34 page document which I can hopefully one can access it this way. If not please email and I will send you the pdf file.
