[@susanasalinas4273]

What can I say, it's so beautiful. Thanks for letting me tag along on, cause I'm always ready for adventures with you kids. Hi Amy.

[@CactusAtlas]

And always happy to have you along. 😊

THANK YOU WONDERFUL FILM.

[@CactusAtlas]

Thank you as well! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@SwiftyTravels]

This is incredible! 😮🤯 I had never heard of this park before your series, and I am fascinated- Thank you so much for bringing the wonders of this park to light. I must visit!!!

[@CactusAtlas]

Oh cool! That's awesome that we could bring this park to your attention! Lots of fascinating volcanic remnants in that area of the U.S. 😊

I went there in 1973 I think it was. I walked down with a nice family who were very friendly and the father had been there several times and was a very knowledgeable guide. Made the trip much more enjoyable.

[@CactusAtlas]

Very cool! 😊

[@gstiles7]

Thanks for the fantastic trek around Bumpass Hell! I think we all have experienced the smells of Bumpass Hell after some late-night Taco Bell!!😂😂

[@CactusAtlas]

🤣🤣 Indeed. 😂

[@oxycocus]

So cool. I never even knew this existed. Definitely on the list now. Thank you!

[@CactusAtlas]

Happy to help! Thank you as well! 😊

Your videos continue to inspire me. It seems to me you are starting to roam further and further from your southwest beginnings which is a good thing. I truly hope you continue to explore more and more National parks. Looking forward to being out your way again in 2024.

[@CactusAtlas]

We did wandered a bit further from home last year. This year is a bit up in the air as to how far we'll venture out but luckily there's still plenty here in the southwest we haven't seen. Definitely no shortage there. 😅 Thanks for your kind words!

[@marygambetta9451]

I have hiked out to Bumpass Hell several times. Glad you were able to do the hike in near solitude.

[@CactusAtlas]

It's always nice when things are timed well and popular areas are quiet. 😊

[@carolguezen5829]

Wow! This looks way cooler than Yellowstone!

[@CactusAtlas]

It's well worth visiting if hydrothermal features are your thing. 👍

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

I think the Bampass guy kinda looks like you Glenn lol...another nice video...I like little 'hidden gems' like this, never heard of it so thanks for making us aware of it!

[@CactusAtlas]

Glad you enjoyed it and we could introduce a new place to you! 😊

A great video of a singular venue. I see you enjoyed some hotdogs. 🌭 🌭

[@CactusAtlas]

🤣 Yup. Somehow hot dogs found their way back on the campground menu.

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

I think I missed you by a few days on this trail 👣

[@CactusAtlas]

Oh nice! Hope you had a great visit when you were there! 👍

[@Raptor-gd6sk]

Very kool place, yes it does look like a mini Yellowstone… no boiled eggs 🥚? That’s a bummer 😂😂😂

[@CactusAtlas]

😁 Next time we visit one of these types of places, we'll have to come prepared with the eggs and compare. 🤣

[@adventureineverydirection3210]

How are the bears out there especially on this trail? Bear spray needed?! That’s the one thing that always deters me from longer hikes…

[@CactusAtlas]

I didn’t see any bears at Lassen, but down at Lake Tahoe bears were certainly out and about, as evidenced by our most recent video. I did not carry bear spray on me at Lassen when I hiked. I did have it with me at camp. Only time I’ve really ever carried it has been in Grizzly country, like in the Tetons. That said, it would probably be a better policy for me to have it on my person anywhere I hike since I usually prefer to go it solo.

[@Neil_n_Lisa_Adventure_Channel]

Hello Glenn and Amy! Thanks for this video, we're planning a trip there this summer. Just found your channel and look forward to exploring your videos. We started our channel after a trip to Utah's 5 Nat'l Parks a couple years ago in case you can check it out, Neil & Lisa's Adventure Channel. Happy trails!

[@CactusAtlas]

Nice! Utah is a wonderful place to start out and you'll love Lassen I bet. Welcome! 😊

[@richardbillin5190]

I’ve heard rumors of it being renamed Taco Bell Hell 🤔

[@CactusAtlas]

😂🤣
