It passes through the Lions and over multiple summits before ending at Porteau Cove. It offers spectacular views of Howe Sound, the surrounding mountains and beautiful turquoise lakes, while covering a variety of terrain.
While the route would normally be tackled as an overnight trip, it can be run in about 8 hours by a reasonably fit trail runner.
