The Stunning Montana Trail You’ll Want To Take Again And Again

Whether you're an experienced hiker or just someone who loves the outdoors, if you call Montana home, you should add hiking the Holland Lake and Falls trail to your must-do list. Located near Condon in the Flathead National Forest, this beautiful (and fairly easy!) day hike is full of incredible views. And since it's just 3 miles in length (out and back), any able-bodied Montanan can enjoy it.

The trail passes through evergreens and leads to rock ledges, natural coves, and resting areas.

But one of the highlights is definitely Holland Lake.

Holland Lake covers 400 acres and has incredible views of the Swan Mountains.

From mid-spring to late fall, fishing is popular here.

In a state full of beautiful lakes, this one is one of the best.

And then there's this.

Holland Falls is located at the end of the trail, and it's a striking sight.

These are definitely sights you'll want to see again and again.

Because of its ease and its beauty, this trail does get crowded during the summer. Go early in the day or just be prepared to share the "road."
