Overview

This isn’t just another hike—it’s a journey into one of British Columbia’s most iconic and untamed landscapes. While most trails offer a destination, this one offers a transformation. You’ll summit ridgelines, camp in the legendary saddle between The Two Lions—Vancouver’s crown jewel peaks—and wake to a sunrise that lights up the entire Howe Sound below. This hike blends adrenaline and awe: exposed granite spines, alpine silence, and zero crowds.

Unlike day hikes to The Lions or basic forest walks, this is a curated overnight wilderness experience with expert guides, gear support, and full backcountry immersion. You’ll walk a portion of the famous Howe Sound Crest Trail—often ranked among the most scenic ridge trails in North America—but without the stress of route-planning or carrying it all alone. It's raw, remote, and rugged, yet accessible through our team’s thoughtful pacing, safety-first ethos, and storytelling.
