Although it is known and named as a geyser, the Terminal Geyser is more like a steam vent than a true geyser. That does not make it less impressive. To get here, you have to follow a narrow, sometimes not that obvious trail. You can even climb down all the way to the steam that reveals a certain smell like rotten eggs. Always be careful around hydrothermal areas!

"This moderately difficult section of the PCT takes one through one floriferous rock garden after another, interspersed now and again by shady, cool pine-fir forest. Every color of the rainbow was represented in these rock gardens, some of which were perched on hillsides, others on open ridgelines with expansive views." https://shasta-cnps.org/humboldt-summit-to-little-cub-spring-july-10-2022/

"For your safety, stay on established trails and boardwalks. Ground in hydrothermal areas can look solid but may actually be a thin crust hiding pools of acidic boiling water or mud. Traveling off-trail in these areas may result in severe injury. Read more about exploring the park hydrothermal areas." https://www.nps.gov/lavo/planyourvisit/hiking_terminal_geyser.htm

There is lots of space for tents around Boundary Spring - however this is a very badly burned area with lots of dead trees that will fall itself or you might be hit by falling branches. My advice to reduce the risk: Get your water from the spring, hike on into Lassen National Park for ~ 0.2 miles, turn left onto the Willow Lake Trail, follow the faint trail for another ~ 0.3 miles to the trailhead. There is room at the dead end and you will be outside the park boundary again.

Lookout Spring is a reliable water source close to Lookout Rock. The water flows out of a pipe and is ice cold. Enjoy!

These days, Lookout Rock is not just a popular location for PCT hikers to spend the night. It is also a save haven after the burn area. The view is exceptional! The closest water source is just 0.5 miles southbound with cool, clear water.

The bridge was destroyed during the Dixie Fire in 2021. You will have to cross the creek over rocks.

Belden is practically just the Belden Resort with a restaurant, some rooms and a small store that seems to be specialized in the needs of hikers. You can also buy gas cans, but the small ones are exceptionally expensive. The only option for more food and shower/laundry is Caribou Crossroads down the highway. Try to contact the owner for a ride there.
