Cycles ride around the north side of the Pu'ukea Crater. The crater is known as "Jello Mold Hill" because it looks like an upside-down mold. The Pu'ukea Crater area was once a private ranch, but today it is managed by the Division of Forestry and Wildlife and the Pu‘u Wa‘awa‘a Volunteer Program.

Located just off of the road is the Puʻukea Crater. This is a relatively small crater compared to the much larger crater residing next door, Kapoho Crater. There s also another unique geographic occurance known as 'Green Lake'. This is a green patch of forest that is completely surrounded by a lava flow.
