Lion’s Head is a peak in Cape Town located 669 metres above sea level between Table Mountain and Signal Hill. It is famous for its panoramic view of Cape Town and the mountain ranges around the city and the seaside. It is an 8-mile hike to the top and takes two to three hours. It is a relatively easy hike, and most of it can be covered on foot, with only a little rock climbing near the end.
There are two paths with a more challenging route which involves climbing ladders and chains to get to the summit quicker and an easier way which can be taken on foot. The locals hike up to the Lion's Head in the late afternoon to watch the sunset and have dinner at the peak before hiking in the moonlight.
