Description:Taken from an overlook near the access trail, this elevated view captures the colorful, contrasting scene of Bumpass Hell hydrothermal basin. Large patches of white, yellow, and brown hydrothermally-altered rocks fill most of the barren landscape. A boardwalk crosses the basin as a large zig-zag and is topped by ant-sized people. Near one end of the boardwalk about ten people stand on a lollipop-shaped section. To their left are four pools of water in varying shades of turquoise. Above the pools, a small plume of steam rises adjacent to the other end of the boardwalk. At the far side of the basin, stands of dark green conifer trees rise into a blue sky. IMAGE: Devils Kitchen.
