Nine Sisters
The Nine Sisters, also known as The Morros, are a chain of nine volcanic peaks in Morro Bay State Park, between Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo in California. They are popular with photographers and rock climbers. Their volcanic origin makes them of significant geological interest, and they also support a wide variety of plant, animal and bird life.
The peaks were created over 20,000,000 years ago as "plugs" of lava which welled up and solified inside softer rock which has since been eroded. The highest peak is Bishop Peak, at 1,559 feet.
