The mountain was once a site of a large-scale chromite mining operations.〔 The destruction of the beautiful natural scenery is visible in the mine pits on the summit as well as other related structures along the trail. The summit offers a 360-degree vista from where you can see the other Zambales mountains on the eastern side, Lingayen Gulf to the north, and on the western side, the Zambales lowlands and the South China Sea stretching to as far south as Pundaquit in San Antonio, Zambales.
==Hiking activity==
The trail to the top of Mount Tapulao is on rolling and gradual terrain that takes hikers through a number of distinct ecosystems: from lowland grass and scrubland dominated by ''talahib'' (cogon grass) to its flanks of secondary to primary dipterocarp forest, mossy montane forest and pine forest above that extends to the adjacent mountains.〔
During wet weather, ''limatik'' or forest leeches abound especially near the streams along the way. Parts of the trail become rivulets that trekkers easily attracts these critters without noticing being bitten, sticking on the human skin.
