If you bear to the right, the road will take you to Punchbowl Crater where you can explore the grounds of the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.

The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific contains a memorial pathway that is lined with a variety of memorials that honor America’s veterans from various organizations. As of 2005, there were 63 such memorials throughout the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific — most commemorating soldiers of 20th-century wars, including those killed at Pearl Harbor

A visit to Mount Tantalus and Round Top can take as little as an hour or as long as a full day if you decide to hike the trails and explore the museum. Whichever you elect, you'll be glad you made the trip.
