Known as Ch'ich'iyúy ElxwÃkn by the indigenous Squamish people, these peaks are significant in local cultural narratives and serve as an important landmark for outdoor enthusiasts in the region. Ascending more than 1,600 meters, these peaks were named in the late 19th century by European settlers for their supposed resemblance to the lions of Trafalgar Square in London, emphasizing their majestic and formidable presence in Vancouver's panoramic backdrop. The area surrounding The Lions is popular for hiking, skiing, and photography, offering some of the most scenic views in southwestern Canada.
