The name of this cinder cone, Puʻuhuluhulu, means "hairy hill" — an apt descriptor as the vegetation-clad slopes here are a stark contrast to the Mauna Ulu lava flow that mostly surrounds Puʻuhuluhulu. There's a great observation deck at the summit, and a public bathroom in the nearby parking lot.

This 500-year-old lava tube was created by a river of lava. Nowadays the lava tube is lit for visitors from 8am-8pm, and the National Park Service urges you to be avoid touching the tube's walls and any hanging roots, as they support entire ecosystems of very delicate organisms. Parking around the lava tube is extremely scarce, but you can hike here along the Crater Rim Trail, which offers many more parking opportunities.
