We left Hungry Horse, MT and
traveled to Columbia Falls before turning south on CO 83. This was a
beautiful road that led us through part of the Flathead National
Forest. |
 |
We decided to try a
off-the-beaten-path forest service campground on Holland Lake. In
order to reach it, we had to travel 3 miles of dirt road.
Thankfully, it had a good surface and negotiating it was easy. As
you will see in subsequent photos, Holland Lake campground was a good
choice. |
 |
We learned that there was a
3-mile round trip hike to Holland Falls and decided to take it. |
 |
We could see our destination
from our campsite on the lake. If you look closely, you can see
Holland Falls in the distance. |
 |
As we traveled the 1 1/2 mile
one way trail, Harley and Jerry stopped to
admire the beautiful water and view. Harley was so
excited to be off-leash! |
|
I know I've said it before, but the clarity
of the water in Montana is amazing. And all the lakes are the most
beautiful blue-green color. |
|
As we reached the end of the
trail and sat to enjoy the spray of the falls and rest a bit, we had a
visitor. Harley was so tired from the long walk in the 90 degree
heat that he didn't even know this little guy was anywhere around! |
