There are legit dead people in those crumbling, wooden houses. ๐Ÿ‘ป Yep, the Eklutna Cemetery is just north of Anchorage, Alaska. The cemetery itself is Athabascan (and those are traditional Athabascan "spirit houses"), but the Saint Nicholas Church behind it is actually Russian Orthodox. โ›ช So, it's an interesting cultural mix.โฃ

I'm admittedly a kind of "fan" of cemeteries. Of #darktourism in general, actually.

Like that time in Yellowstone the #AdventurePartnerForLife and I FINALLY broke the bear drought. ๐Ÿป Weโ€™d been denied bear sightings in Denali, Kenai, AND Banff, ๐ŸŒฒ if you can believe it. But somewhere around Norris Geyser Basin and the Paint Pots, we finally spotted one! Just one. (But thatโ€™s all we needed, right?)
