This is a picture of Bumpass Hell at Lassen National Park. Only took one day to drive the 1 road through the park and back again and had a good long hike to Bumpass Hell. The name was from a guy named Bumpass who thought he was going to make some money by being the one to discover these steam pots and took a newspaper man in with him to do a write up to bring in tourists so he could make a handy profit... only problem was with is boasting he fell into one of the steam pots and ultimately lost his leg. Needless to say he did not think it was so great after that... It was not as impressive as Yellowstone but a very impressive walk. The one treat we did have was to see a doe with her two fawns on our trail so that was a great highlight.
