    I was born and raised in Alaska, and this is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to! The church is on a place overlooking a quaint little village settled alongside the inlet. It makes you feel like you just stepped into a 19th-century novel! This is a great place to stop for a picnic, read a book, or peruse the gravestones. Locals might notice some familiar ancestral names. I would recommend going on a warm and sunny day (as we did) if possible, but I'm sure it will be enjoyable in other weather. Two things to note: First, visitors CANNOT enter the church itself. You can still go inside the churchyard, though! Second, there's a whole lot of cow parsnip growing across the road from it, so be careful! It's likely to cause a rash if it comes in contact with your skin. We found this out the hard way. See more..
