Hike to Bumpass Hell - Part 3

I have just a few more to show, if Mr. Computer will oblige me.  Let's see.

This creek and pool flow into Bumpass Hell, providing at least some of the water that pools and boils

Above Bumpass Hell, you must pass by this straight up fine gravel hill before heading over the ridge and down, either away from, or back towards the sulfur wonderland.  I went a ways on, and then came back and headed  to my car.
One last pool to see from a viewing platform I hadn't gone up.
Zoom up on the pool
Last look, with a person on the boardwalk for perspective.  Time to head up and out.
Later day sunlight shows the colors that Helen Lake is famous for; deep sapphire center with turquoise edges
This is a pale representation of the color hues, but I'm glad to have this shot to show you anyway.
This one is for my mother.  This is where she got out and walked on snow with us back in, what, 1984? '89?  Anyway, here's one of the many patches of snow I saw lying by the road up at the 8000-8511 ft. level.
I may show a few specific things in a future blog post, but for now, this is my Bumpass Hell show.  I hope you liked it.
