Ready to head down the trail. Ruth and Harvey rode horses up (age bestows wisdom) but we're walking down. Doesn't everyone look fresh. This is Luke's second trip down in 2 days. He made a round trip the day before to accompany Emily up. What a guy!

Nearing the bottom. A view of Holland Lake. The Holland Lake Lodge, our destination, is on the point with the single pine tree.

Someone in our party didn't think Traci was carrying enough weight so he/she added a few rocks and sticks to her pack.
