Hike to Holland Falls

Had a great hike this afternoon with the pups to Holland Falls.  Stayed to watch the sunset and then trekked across the ice a bit on the way home.  Holland Falls is a fantastic jaunt, about 1.5 miles one way from the lodge.  Along the way, you'll pass the island and go beside the lakeshore for the first mile.  The last half mile is a 500 foot climb to the base of the falls and gives incredible views of the Mission Mountains.  The waterfall is halfway frozen this time of year....really beautiful.

Had to include the "action" shot of Silas.
