Gorgeous peak, tons of huckleberries, beautiful views
Gorgeous hike. Lots of elevation gain in a short time, not many switchbacks. Totally worth it once you get to the beautiful lakes. Camped at the upper lake and summoned in the morning. Beautiful clear skies with views into the Bob, swan valley and even some of the peaks in glacier. 10/10.

Stunning views
This is one of my favorite peaks to climb - a lung busting ascent and stunning views into the Bob from the ridge and summit. Been up a few times. There is a well-established hikers trail to the summit these days.

perfect day in the mountains
Six of us in good trail running condition went after this peak at a strong pace. Fantastic weather and cooler temps. Summited in 2 hours 40 min. Roundtrip 4 hours 40 min. A few in the group had been unsuccessful on previous attempts of Holland due to weather and wind blowing in, so it was great to help them get redemption!
Successfully skied from the summit on the 4th of July, then paddled around Lower Rumble Creek Lake. Epic day, especially for my pup!!

Standard Route
Summited On July 28, 2018 via standard route. Very enjoyable and scenic. Totally doable as a day hike, but my group camped out for the night at Upper Rumble Lake due to reports of monster cut-throats in the lake: reports verified...

Epic climb on great summer day
Climbed the standard route on a nice partly cloudy summer day with the homies from Wisconsin, ended up running down the steep trail to beat a thunderstorm, all in all very successful!

Perfect Day
One of those perfect summer days that make it hard to leave the summit. Enjoyed every minute of this hike, with the exception of the last 30 minutes of steep descent back to the main trail when I was thinking about the longevity of my knees.

Bearspray mishap
After summiting McDonald, Icefloe and Glacier from the east it seemed logical to cross the valley and tag Holland. I really liked this route. It was a relief that there was no bushwacking this time! Great views, 2 outstanding lakes, fun ridge walk, a glimpse into the "Bob." I scared a black bear on the way up and it thundered through the brush away from me. I kept my bearspray close at had afterwards, but then just before reaching the upper lake I managed to drop it on some talus and it punctured spraying slowly as I ran away. Upon descent I nudged it with my hiking poles and it began leaking again! I really am a litter Nazi, but on this sunny day I just turned it over to let it hiss out some more and hoped with the heat it would empty itself out and a good Samaritan would pick it up when it was finished. Sorry! Quick descent down and I still got to visit "Gus" the monstrous larch near Seeley and drove to Scott peak in Idaho for the next hairbrained route I had planned before returning to SLC.

Great hike. A decent amount of people were camping at the lower lake but I had the upper mountain to myself.

Holland Peak
Great hike with Greg Jagielski and Victor Zhou. I met them at a camp spot beyond Seeley Lake, leaving Salt Lake that day and arriving late. Rumble Creek Lakes are spectacular and the ridge hike to the summit was awesome.

Awesome hike!
Holland Peak is a a great hike, with some great stops along the way. Despite the nearby fires, we were in some pretty clean air. The slabs/cliff can be sketchy for those not sure with the feet. Saw 8 mountain goats... they were coming down when we were going up. All in all just an awesome hike.

Snow
A little sketchy on the steep slab area due to snow and ice but an epic trip. We made base camp at the lower lake. Snow started at about 6000ft. Crampons and micro-spikes was all we needed. Several feet of snow accumulated in spots higher up but the exposed areas were sporadically snow and ice covered.

Beautiful Mountain
Amazing area. My dog and spent the night at TH. Started off around 8:15 AM, summitted around 1:15. Very steep trail. Saw quite a few other parties of folks at lower lake. And one climbing party. No significant wildlife seen however.

WOW
I was a little out of shape for this one, it reallly kicked my butt! The wind was so strong near the summit it was actually blowing my wife off the ground. But it was soooooooooo worth it! Definitely on my "must do again" list.
2010 Oct 14 with Joe, Paul & Sue. Nice day, really fun hike. Upper Rumble Lake is idyllic. It was hard to head back.

South ridge from Rumble Creek Lakes
Awesome exposure on the saddle ay! Camped at upper Rumble Creek Lake which didn't seem to bother the five goats that showed up shortly after we arrived and decided to hang out there with us all day! Remember to pee on the rocks and not the turf!! From the lower lake on and upward, this mountain has one of the most enjoyable routes I have been on!
