The Three Sisters on a better hair day

The Three Sisters (North, Middle and South, or more poetically, Faith, Hope and Charity) earlier in the year before their flanks were smothered with smoke from forest fires. Each of these volcanic peaks is over 10,000 feet. In Oregon, only Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson are taller. South Sister erupted most recently -- 20,000 years ago -- and it's shown some signs of life in the last 10 years. A geologist told me that living on the other side of these 3 siblings in nearby Bend was like living with a shotgun pointed at your head. But then, in the immortal words of Roseanne Roseannadanna, "It just goes to show ya, it's always something."
