Lion's Head Options:
Sunrise - Start the hike before dawn while it's still dark. Use the flashlights provided to light your way as you climb up the mountain, reaching the summit in time to watch the sun come up, bathing everything it touches in a golden glow.
Sunset - Start a couple of hours before sunset. Reach the summit about an hour before sunset and then drop down to a lower section that is less crowded. Watch as the sun dips below the horizon before making your way back down in the twilight. Flashlights will be provided when required.
