But Makawao is still cowboy country and every Fourth of July the town plays host to the festive Makawao Rodeo.  Take Olinda Road up toward the Oskie Rice Arena to join in on the fun and competition.  Make note that Olinda Road is easily one of Maui's most scenic routes to drive on and explore. Follow the road as it continues to climb up, up, up past fragrant eucalyptus trees, beautiful ranchland, unpretentious homes to the stars (like Oprah Winfrey), and charming bed-and-breakfasts.
