Below is a summary of eruption dates and Volcanic Explosivity Indices (VEI).

The following references are the sources used for data regarding this volcano. References are linked directly to our volcano data file. Discussion of another volcano or eruption (sometimes far from the one that is the subject of the manuscript) may produce a citation that is not at all apparent from the title. Additional discussion of data sources can be found under Volcano Data Criteria.

A small volcanic field of rhyolitic lava domes and flows about 20 km south of Reno, Nevada, ranges in age from 2.53 to 1.14 million years. No eruptive activity has occurred at Steamboat Springs during the Holocene, although it was included in the Catalog of Active Volcanoes of the World (Coombs and Howard 1960) based on its geothermal activity. The Steamboat Springs area is dotted with about 50 active hot springs, numerous steam vents, and fumaroles, and is an actively producing geothermal field.
