As you drive from the picturesque paniolo
town of Makawao to the "edge of the forest" (translation
of Makawao), youll notice along the winding curves of
Piiholo Road that the flora becomes luxuriant and the trees
more dense. Piiholo Ranch sits on the edge of the Makawao
Forest Reserve. On horseback ride, youll be able to
see many of the native and indigenous plants of Hawaii, and
at times, the colorful endemic forest birds. If you can imagine,
at one time in the Hawaiian Islands the riot of color of the
birds feathers rivaled that of the trees bright
blossoms. Click below information about native plants and
wildlife.
