History: The traditional Squamish name for The Lions translates as "the Sisters" and is a reference to two daughters of a legendary chief of that tribe who were converted to mountain peaks to commemorate their great virtue. The post-colonial name "The Lions" was a reference to the appearance these summits had in the light of the setting sun, and their resemblance to the monumental lions common throughout London, notably in Trafalgar Square.
