This is more than just a hike—it’s an adventure into one of British Columbia’s most renowned and wild landscapes. While many trails lead to a destination, this one promises a transformation. Participants will ascend ridgelines, camp in the legendary saddle between The Two Lions—Vancouver’s crown jewel peaks—and awaken to a sunrise that illuminates the entire Howe Sound below. This hike combines excitement and wonder: exposed granite spines, alpine tranquility, and no crowds.
Unlike day hikes to The Lions or simple forest walks, this is a carefully crafted overnight wilderness experience with expert guides, gear support, and full backcountry immersion. Participants will traverse a section of the famous Howe Sound Crest Trail—often considered one of the most scenic ridge trails in North America—without the stress of route-planning or carrying everything alone. It’s raw, remote, and rugged, yet accessible through the team’s thoughtful pacing, safety-first approach, and storytelling.
