We’ve taken to recommending Holland Lake (and the accompanying Holland Falls) to our friends when they visit. It’s a bit of a drive, but the hike is relatively easy and the view is spectacular. We trekked up the trail today and were rewarded with a refreshing cool mist after the last half mile of hot, rocky gravel.

Of course you have to celebrate at the top, overlooking the lake.

As usual, there were a couple of chipmunks darting around the rocks. Most people stop for a snack, and the chipmunks know they can get some crumbs.

Although the sky was cloudy, the water was really still and made for some great shots.


Another good day at Holland!
