This shot of Matanuska Peak was taken from the Palmer Flats near the Glenn Highway about 1 mile north of the Knik River and 10 miles west of the peak. It shows the distinctive features of the peak itself and the extremely steep and slightly lower knife-edge ridge from the south meeting the saddle. - Twin Peaks

The left peak is Goat Mountain the two to the right are called Twin Peaks. I have been told that the three peaks are referred to as "Three Sisters". This photo was taken in early March from near the Bodenburg Butte approximately 5 miles north of the peaks. A well maintained and accesible trail leads to the Twin Peaks summit. This is the north face. - Mount Sanford
