Three Sisters (Alberta)
The ''Three Sisters'' are a trio of peaks near Canmore, Alberta, Canada. They are known individually as ''Big Sister (Faith)'', ''Middle Sister (Charity)'' and ''Little Sister (Hope)''.
It was Albert Rogers, a nephew of Major Rogers, the discoverer of Rogers Pass in the Selkirk Mountains, who named the three peaks in 1883. 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,' more Protestant like I suppose." The name "Three Sisters" first appeared on Dr. George Dawson's map of 1886 and it is quite likely he who thought that the name Three Sisters would be more appropriate. The myth also refers to three nuns going for a walk one day and the three nuns never returned, also a reason the peeks are called the Three Sisters.
In the traditional language of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney) the peaks are also referred to as the three sisters. However, the name refers to a story of Ĩ-ktomnĩ, the old man or trickster, who would promise 'three sisters' in marriage whenever he was in trouble.〔http://www.rockymountainnakoda.com/language/Geographic%20Landmarks〕

''Big Sister'' is a moderate scramble on southwestern slopes while ''Middle Sister'' is an easy scramble from Stewart Creek. ''Little Sister'' is a more difficult ascent requiring technical climbing skills.
