I have always been really curious to why the Three Sisters Mountains were called the Three Sisters, they looked nothing like girls. It was Albert Rogers, who named the three peaks He recalled, "There had been quite a heavy snowstorm in the night, and when we got up in the morning and looked out of the tent I noticed each of the three peaks had a heavy veil of snow on the north side and I said to the boys, 'Look at the Three Nuns.' They were called the Three Nuns for quite a while but later were called the 'Three Sisters. The name "Three Sisters" first appeared on Dr. George Dawson's map of 1886 and it is quite likely that he thought that the name Three Sisters would be more appropriate.
