We were undecided on what sights to see here until we stopped at the Manzanita Visitor's Center and saw a bit about Mr. Bumpass's Hell and decided we had time for the walk, especially since cindyl had never seen geothermal features before other than hot springs. With the Lassen Summit Trail closed for renovations, it seemed like everyone was hiking this one (we got the only spot open in the large parking lot when we arrived). There are some great views of the surrounding areas along the trail, as well as a few meadows of solid Lupine which was in full bloom. At this elevation and location, Manzanita was growing as a shrubby ground cover, which was odd to see. We arrived at Hell in good time, and wandered around the boardwalk looking at the pools, vents, and mud pots before heading back out the way we came.
