Three Sisters

Three Sisters is a mountain just north of Fernie, British Columbia, northwest of where Fairy Creek meets the Elk River. A prominent local landmark, it is distinct from the more famous Three Sisters near Canmore in Alberta. Its middle summit rises to 2,788 metres (9,147 feet), making it the highest point in the Fernie area. The mountain’s three-part shape has made it one of the town’s most recognizable sights and a favorite subject for photographers. Local legend links the peaks to a tale in which three maidens, grieving after a young Indigenous chief was transformed into Mount Proctor, prayed to become mountains themselves.
