Sisters Oregon
The
Town of Sisters is named for the 10,000 foot Three Sisters
mountains, sometimes fondly called Faith, Hope and Charity.
A very old story suggests that the mountains where named by
the members of a Methodist mission based out of Salem. The
town was officially christened when the post office at Camp
Polk closed in the 1880's.
The town of Sisters is
located in the transition between the snowy Cascade Mountains
and the Central Oregon High Desert. The 1880's Western town
has over 60 unique stores and gift shops with
many popular events throughout the year. Sisters is the perfect
stopover for all types of recreation activities.
It would take you years
to visit all the scenic spots in the Sisters area, but here
a few that you should not miss: Head of the Metolius, Mt.
Washington Viewpoint, Dee Wright Observatory, Camp Polk Pioneer
Cemetery, Patterson Ranch, Three Creeks Lake, Sahalie Falls
and Creekside City Park to just name a few.
