Applegate Group rocks exposed in Elliott Creek south of Applegate Lake in Southern Oregon.

Metasedimentary rocks, greenschist to amphibolite facies, quartz and mica schists and phyllites, metaquartzite.

A beautiful area with some of the most complex geology. Often, lithology changes every few dozen meters and mostly covered by old growth vegetation in steep terrain.

The result of continental accretion in the Paleozoic to Jurassic.
