Legend has it that long ago, three sisters fell in love with three brothers from another tribe down in the valley. This love was forbidden by tribal laws and customs. Their romance eventually sparked a war between the two tribes. A witch, trying to protect the sisters from harm, transformed them into stone cliffs. However, the witch was killed in the end, leaving the three sisters as mountain peaks in the valley, never able to return to human form. Perhaps this freed them from worldly troubles, as they continue to watch over the Blue Mountains for all eternity.
