*** About The Lions Peaks: The Lions are two very distinctive peaks seen from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Named for their resemblance to the crouching lions of the Serengeti, these famous mountain landmarks are part of the North Shore Mountains range. Standing at elevations of about 1,600 meters, these peaks are favorites for both serious mountaineers and day hikers. The view from the summit offers a panoramic vista of the Greater Vancouver area, including the expansive Strait of Georgia. Their significance transcends physical beauty, however, as the peaks hold historical value to local indigenous Squamish people, forming an essential part of their cultural heritage.
