Well, the whole damn area of N. Nevada is pretty active... consider all the geothermal power we have out here... that's all possible because there's so much hot water underground near the surface around here. So, if there's all that hot water... there's probably a reason for it, no?

I've also heard that Rose/Slide is volcanic, though I though pretty much all the Sierra Nevada mountains were due to plate tectonics, not magma. Where's our resident geologist when we need him!?
