Deep within Lassen Volcanic National Park lies Bumpass Hell—a surreal hydrothermal landscape of boiling springs, bubbling mud pots, and steaming vents. This otherworldly area is not only geologically active but also comes with a memorable backstory: it's named after Kendall Bumpass, who severely burned his leg after falling through the crust in the 1860s.
