Visible from much of the Greater Vancouver area, these peaks have become an iconic symbol of the city. Their names are inspired by the resemblance to lion figures when viewed from certain angles. Standing over 1,600 meters tall, these mountains are not just popular sightseeing spots but are also favored destinations for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts, offering challenging trails and spectacular views from the summit that overlook the metropolitan and natural landscapes alike. Beyond their physical grandeur, The Lions hold significant cultural importance, featured prominently in the oral traditions of the local Squamish people.
