Moderate, 2.94 mi out and back

Hiked 10/11/24
Bluesky Video with a wide view of the pools and the ‘screaming’ of air leaving the hydrothermal vents.
A short trip to Hell, surrounded by the slight screams of air escaping from hydrothermal vents. This adventure takes you down to a couple of boardwalks around active geothermal mudpots and boiling pools of liquid pyrite and acidic-loving cyanobacteria. Please stay on the boardwalks to avoid injuries.
A serene setting along the early trail among evergreens, concealing the ‘hell’ that awaits further along.
Looking out from the rocky outcrop that makes an early viewpoint towards what I believe is Pilot Pinnacle.
A steaming and bubbling pool forms above a hydrothermal vent.
is it bum pass or bump ass
Bumpa SS, Nazi shit.
Bumpass…guy’s name who broke through the crust and was horribly injured but lived (!) and went back.
Bad name, worse luck.
I believe it is bum-pass, but I absolutely read it as bump-ass.
That was the first hike I did with my partner! Oh the memories:)
If you survived going to hell together you can survive anything haha, it’s definitely a fun one!
