The steaming pools of Bumpass Hell at Lassen Volcanic National Park in California<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Get ready to confront nature like no other. Get ready to experience your wildest dreams. So you do not want to be tied up behind a cubicle your whole life? Fear not, the Lassen Volcanic National Park<\/strong> offers you the journey of a lifetime. From auto-touring to bird watching to kayaking and boating, it is not just a park; it’s a complete adventure zone. But remember, all this is not for the faint-hearted.<\/p>\n

Do you think you are fitter than your peers? How about a little backpacking trip in the area? The east side of the park is full of trail loops, which allows you to choose between day-long and week-long trips. However, steer clear of camping near hydrothermal areas. In fact, state law prohibits camping within 1\/4 mile of any such feature. In such cases, it is better to set up camping nearby and go for a day long trip to the hydrothermal features.<\/p>\n

You might have heard of boiling pools and mud pots but the ones at Lassen Volcanic National Park <\/em>are by far, the most dangerous of the lot. So if danger is your calling, don’t forget to visit Bumpass Hell and Sulphur Works. Just remember, never to sway from the established tracks. Many tourists have been fatally injured while treading on thin crust. Even though the ground may appear solid, it can easily give way to pools of boiling acidic water or mud.<\/p>\n

A 3-mile round-trip hike will take you to Bumpass Hell, home to the area’s largest hydrothermal activity. Avoid the narrow straits of hell as you walk through a guided tour of a 16-acre field of steam vents, pools and mud pots. Little Hot Springs Valley and Pilot Pinnacle are the chief sights of this area.<\/p>\n

Another wonderful sight you cannot miss is the Devil’s Kitchen. Hike off to Warner Valley to get close to the boiling cauldrons of this area! This is the closest to Hell you will ever get, some say.<\/p>\n

If hot bubbles are not your thing, how about a short trip to a cold bubble bath? The Cold Boiling Lake is a short hike from King’s Creek Picnic Area. True to its name, cold bubbles rise like soda water from the deep waters of this lake. Care for a sip? Bring your bottle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though hydrothermal areas are a big sight in the area, part of the attraction also stems from hiking, snowshoeing at Manzanita Lake area, and winter activities as camping and snow play. Skiing is also a major activity. Even though the highway closes by mid-November, the park is accessible all year round. Winter offers you a remarkable opportunity to see a quieter side of the park, where you can enjoy with your family.<\/p>\n

Various ranger-led programmes are available throughout the year for children as well as grownups. There are a lot of options so make sure you choose a plan of your preference from the itinerary on the Park website. The Lassen Volcanic National Park offers some of the best treats, so make the most of it.<\/p>\n
