Holland Peak is one of the many fine, craggy, remote, and generally unknown peaks that are found throughout Montana. It is the highest peak in the rugged and imposing Swan Range, as well as the highest summit in the western part of the vast Bob Marshall wilderness. It can be climbed as a day hike that involves some serious scrambling, but a massive vertical rise, brushy trails, and the threat of grizzlies makes most ascents lonely experiences.

Holland Peak rises above the Swan Valley on the west and "the Bob" on the east. The west face is notable for its sheer rise above the beautiful Rumble Creek Lakes. The upper lake is in a hanging valley surrounded by the summit cliffs on its uphill shores, and a long, narrow cascade from its outlet drops down to the lower lake. The lakes are popular with fishermen, who usually outnumber the hikers in the area of the peak. The climb, however, is far easier than trying to ascend Swan Peak, the slightly lower peak 12 miles north that is the range's second highest summit.
