Three Sisters, Fernie

Mount Trinity, better known as the Three Sisters in Fernie, British Columbia. Legend has it that an Indian Chief was enamoured by three maidens and could not decide which one he would choose as a bride. When the elder chiefs asked the gods for their help in making this decision, the gods punished their indecisiveness by turning the young chief into a mountain (Mount Proctor). Upon hearing about this, the grief of the maidens was so great that they asked the gods to turn them into a mountain also - so we have the Three Sisters in Fernie.
