Climbing the same mountain as pulpit with slightly tougher terrain and giving you a different view of Nelson.. In my opinion, these are the best views! For the hard core hikers you can continue up further from lions bluff up to the CBT tower and further again round to flag pole and on to pulpit.
Please be mindful of wildlife particularly if hiking to the top of the CBT tower. I recommend carrying bear spray
