Pu'u o Lokuana is a striking red and orange walled cinder cone accessible via a short, steep hike from the parking lot. The cinder cone used to be 100 feet higher, but was mined as a cinder quarry before it was added to the park. The colorful cinder was used to decorate paths and roads on Hawai'i. During WWII, Pu'u o Lokuana was also the location of the secret Kahuku radio station, parts of which can still be seen to the left of the trail in places.
