Most visitors admire The Lions from afar—but few ever stand in their shadow. This hike offers not just a physical challenge, but a transformative experience: the feeling of earning your place among giants. Your guided trek ensures safety, pacing, and deep local knowledge as we climb through forest, ridge, and rock to Vancouver’s most legendary peaks. Unlike the crowded Grouse Grind or Capilano trails, this is raw, alpine British Columbia at its most dramatic—no fences, no gondolas, no lines. Just effort, awe, and elevation
Forest Ascent Lush, shaded climb through Douglas fir and cedar forests Crosses bubbling creeks, mossy boulders, and wooden bridges Early morning bird songs and cool alpine air
Scramble to the Lions Reach the ridge below The Lions—massive volcanic peaks standing guard over the city Optional scramble to the West Lion summit for the truly daring (exposed, not guided) Iconic photo opportunities from the Lions’ saddle with sheer drops and alpine views
Top of the World Moments Views stretch from Vancouver and Bowen Island to Garibaldi and Mount Baker Pause for lunch on rock slabs with wind sweeping across alpine flowers and crags Possible sightings of ravens, goats, and eagles circling the ridgelines
