Three Sisters (Los Angeles County)
The Three Sisters are a small mountain range in the Mojave Desert, in Los Angeles County, California.[1] They consist of three main hills of varying sizes, with the smallest to the southwest having a height above surrounding land of 150 feet (46 m), the second 180 feet (55 m), and the third and largest to the northeast having a height of 290 feet (88 m). They are the highly eroded remnants of what used to be the peaks of the northern San Gabriel Mountains, before recent sediment filled the area.
