A short double loop trail, constructed by the Youth Conservation Corps, encircles both crests of the hill. The trail provides an excellent opportunity to view native plants and birds which wer once abundant prior to the introduction of livestock and the lava flows of 1843 & 1935 in the area. The top of the puʻu (cinder cone) makes an excellent picnic site and provides panoramic views of the area. No open fires are allowed. The trail is short, easily traversed and ideal for youngsters on a day's outing.
