The Three Sisters, famous in Central Oregon, they lay just outside the town of Sisters to the Southwest. First when I told Joey the names of the 3 mountains I got one of them wrong.
The correct names are as follows:
North Sister - Faith - Elevation 10,085 ft.
Middle Sister - Hope - Elevation 10,047 ft.
South Sister - Charity - Elevation 10,358 ft.
All three mountains were found on a map from 1840s. It’s amazing that they are all so close in height, and all three being volcanoes. Faith had an eruption within the last 1,000 years, and is still active.
You can travel all around central Oregon and find lava beds, lava caves and lava tubes. It is a beautiful place to visit. I was very lucky one day and got to fly in a private aircraft over to the town of Bend. I was taking pics of all the lakes and ponds in the middle of no where, so I could come back later with the crew and find some new winch spots.
As we cleared over the Cascade Mountain Range I looked back, and all three Sisters where blingin’ with summer snow. I love Oregon and all its beauty. I am a photo hound…I always carry my camera with me. Just ask any of my friends for they have been found in pics they were not aware of, LOL.
