Mount Everts

Mount Everts, elevation 7,846 feet (2,391 m), is a prominent mountain peak in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, near Mammoth Hot Springs.

The Everts formation (70 mya) is dominated by sandstone and has coal seams from plant debris that collected in swampy areas.

[7] The eruption of the Yellowstone hot spot 2.1 million years ago deposited the Huckleberry Ridge tuff on the southern part of Mt.

Ash fall from the earliest part of the eruption was deposited first and can be seen as a thin strip of white rock eight feet tall.

[6] Next, pyroclastic flows moved through the region, sometimes at speeds of hundreds of miles per hour, depositing the bulk of the Huckleberry Ridge tuff.

Deposits from streams just beneath the Huckleberry Ridge tuff show that this area was at a low elevation just before the eruption.
