Makawao, Hawaii - Travel and Vacation Info (198 words)
Makawao catches the visitor up in a tropical John Wayne film, somewhere between luscious rainforest vegetation and tumbleweed.
While Makawao may be much further along the path of modernity than the old store-facades suggest, locals want to preserve the cowboy feel of Maui's 'west' despite the sprawl reaching towards this town southeast of Kahului.
Close to Makawao are the Kula Botanical Gardens, brimming with six acres of carefully tended tropical and subtropical species, including Maui's famous flower, the very cactus-like Protea.
