Visible from much of the Greater Vancouver area, they are one of the city's most recognizable natural landmarks. Named for their resemblance to two lions proudly resting side by side, these peaks form a critical part of the local lore and are a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. The Lions have been a significant cultural symbol for the indigenous Squamish people, often referred to as "Ch'ich'iyúy ElxwÃkn" (Twin Sisters), embodying a storied history that intertwines with the region's heritage and environmental consciousness.
