Three Sisters Mountain is Canmore's signature scenic feature. It was originally named Three Nuns because the three peaks look like hooded nuns in prayer.

Artists renditions of these three peaks can be seen in signage all around Canmore and in marketing materials of many Canmore attractions.

If you look closely at the bottom-center of the satellite picture below you will see Three Sisters Mountain and the prominent shadows of two of its three peaks.
