*** About The Lions: The Lions are iconic twin peaks located north of Vancouver, British Columbia, easily visible from various parts of the city. These peaks are part of the Coast Mountains and are composed of intrusive rock that dates back to the Late Cretaceous period. Traditionally known as "Ch'ich'iyúy Elxwíkn" by the indigenous Squamish people, these mountains hold significant cultural importance and are often featured in local lore and art. The name "The Lions" comes from their resemblance to the lion statues in Trafalgar Square, London, and has since become a symbol of Vancouver itself.
