Embark on an unforgettable journey to Bumpass Hell, Lassen’s largest and most awe-inspiring hydrothermal basin. This approximately 3-mile roundtrip trail leads you through stunning alpine scenery before descending into a landscape of boiling springs, iridescent pools, and roaring fumaroles like the mighty Big Boiler. The boardwalk path allows for safe exploration of this otherworldly terrain, named after an early pioneer who unfortunately discovered its scalding nature firsthand. The vibrant colours, the steamy atmosphere, and the sheer power of the earth on display make this a truly captivating and signature Lassen experience.
