Where Does the Lion’s Head Top Road Hike Start?

Street parking is available and there is a signage marking the trail so you know where to start climbing – it says Lions Head.
What to Expect on the Lion’s Head Top Road Trail
While the initial part is a wee bit steep, it levels out quite quickly. You won’t be climbing stairs for more than 10 mins, after which you take a right.
The trail is also quite easily to follow as it follows a straight path with limited turns. The total hike time, with return, would take about 75 mins at a slow pace.
The views are scenic and gorgeous as the endless ocean stares back at you 🌊 We recommend this as a weekday, evening hike too!
