Views Are Awesome

The hike up & down is relatively easy & you do not have to use the chains etc to get a spectacular view. Take water & a hat & you will not be disappointed. The paved path ways are clean & well taken care of.

Easy hike, stunning views

I hiked before sunset. It's not too hard of a hike if you are an avid hiker. The views are incredible. I'd like to go back and do it again at sunrise.

Great city views

We visited the head and enjoyed the city views and watching the paragliders launch from the top. Easy to get to and worth the time.

Great hike

I don't consider myself a hiker, but this was such an amazing hike and the view at the top is one for the books.

Great Hike

Quite a short hike (45-50min) to get up the Lion's Head and spectacular views! Definitely worth going. Just dress appropriately as there is relatively few trees and a lot of exposure to sun.

Thank Michal J
