The portion of the hills immediately to the east of the adjacent Saltese Flats are known as the Saltese Uplands. {{wide image|Holiday Hills.png|1300px|Panorama of the treeless Holiday Hills looking east from Eagle Peak.}}HistoryOriginally the hills were unnamed, but a resort known as the "Holiday Hills Ski Resort" opened on Carlson Hill in the 1970's, and people began erroneously calling the hill "Holiday Hill"[2]. Eventually this name fell out of use, and the name "Holiday Hills" spread to refer to the surrounding hills as a whole. The name soon also spread to local businesses. Despite the resort and many other businesses eventually closing down, the hills retained their name[3]. "Holiday Road" in Spokane Valley and "Holiday Hills Drive" in Liberty Lake are named after the hills.
