Traditionally known as 'Ch'ich'iyúy ElxwÃkn' in the Squamish language, these peaks form a significant part of the city's North Shore Mountains. Standing at approximately 1,606 meters (5,269 feet) for the West Lion and 1,646 meters (5,400 feet) for the East Lion, they are not only a popular subject for local artists but also a hiking and climbing magnet for adventurers. The Lions are often shrouded in local lore and legend, symbolizing the spiritual geography and rich history of the area. Their imposing silhouette is one of the most recognizable features of the Vancouver skyline, embodying the wild, untamed spirit of British Columbia.
