The Brothers, Hill in Washington, United States
The Brothers is a hill in Washington, United States, part of the Olympic Mountains. It consists of two rocky summits connected by a saddle, with steep slopes and patches of alpine vegetation.
The hill was named in the 19th century by surveyors who noted the twin peaks. It has long been a landmark for travelers in the region.
The name comes from the two peaks that look like brothers standing side by side. Local hikers often use the hill as a training ground for bigger climbs in the Olympics.
The trail to the top is steep and can be slippery after rain, so wear sturdy boots and carry enough water. Check the weather forecast before you go, as conditions change quickly and fog can reduce visibility.
The two summits are actually the remnants of an ancient volcanic cone that eroded over time. On clear days, you can see the distant skyline of Seattle from the top.
