Lower on the mountain are the many conveniences of Pukalani, including grocery and general stores, restaurants and all the necessities. Nearby Makawao is a busy little town that looks like a scene from an old western movie set on the edge of an encroaching jungle. There are plenty of boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and fun things to do here.
Set among rolling hills and pastures, upcountry land is known for its relaxing atmosphere and elegant beauty. Historically, Upcountry Maui was predominantly ranch land, and grass-fed cattle are still raised all over these bountiful acres. The area is also ideal for other agricultural purposes, so you'll also find botanical gardens, vineyards and various farms in many upcountry locations.
