For those not comfortable with exposed scrambling, please turn around at the base of West Lion, just before lowering yourself down the short 3-4m roped section. The view is incredible even from West Lion and it's very obvious when the hike turns from hike to scramble. Stay safe and hike within your ability, the conditions, and your gear.
The Lions are a popular trail that ventures up to one of the most prominent peaks on the North Shore Mountains. In fact The Lions are a pair of peaks, from which Vancouver's iconic Lions Gate Bridge takes its name. , The trail is long and very difficult due to the combination of its length, elevation and gradient and should only be attempted by experienced, fit hikers. There is an optional scramble at the top reviewed in more detail below.
