About

The three-mile roundtrip trek to Bumpass Hell is one of the park's most popular hikes. And that's no surprise considering the trail leads to the park's largest hydrothermal area, boasting16 acres of boiling springs, mud pots and roaring fumaroles!

The biggest steam vent, named Big Boiler, is one of the hottest fumaroles in the world--reaching over 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thanks to boardwalks and clearly marked trails, you can walk around safely while enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of Bumpass Hell. But be warned that stepping off-trail can result in serious injury!

Remember to tap the map marker to hear the bonus story "Bumpass Hell" about the unlucky prospector and namesake of this place.
