Three Sisters (Oregon)

Three volcanic peaks in Oregon, U.S.

The Three Sisters are a trio of closely spaced volcanic peaks in the U.S. state of Oregon. Named North, Middle, and South, they are part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, a segment of the Cascade Range in western North America extending from southern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California. Each over 10,000 feet in elevation, they are the third-, fourth- and fifth-highest peaks in Oregon.
