One of many wonderful hikes in Lassen Volcanic National Park, the Bumpass Hell hike is a really cool, 3-mile hike that has a sweet payoff.  As the largest hydrothermal area at Lassen National Volcanic Park, Bumpass Hell is not to be missed when you visit and a beautiful, peaceful hike will get you there. 
The steaming pools that release steam as well as the smell of sulfur make you feel like you're on another planet.  It's an eerie but exhilirating feeling to walk along the boardwalk while enjoying the sites and sounds of Bumpass Hell.
