Review & FAQ:
Middle Sister is one of the snowcapped peaks that make up the Three Sisters. North Sister and South Sister are her neighbors. They are located west of Bend in the Cascades of Central Oregon. The Middle Sister is the shortest of the three volcanic summits at 10,047 feet, but not by much. The Three Sisters are made up of alpine meadows, lakes, waterfalls, streams, lush forests, and trees such as Douglas, silver, and subalpine firs. Middle Sister is an especially fascinating climb, with the largest sheet of ice found in the state, Collier Glacier can be found between the North and Middle Sister. There are two trailheads that lead to its summit – Pole Creek and Obsidian.
