Pyramid Mountain is on the right, above the lighthouse. This is not an official Coast Guard lighthouse. It was constructed by a veteran's group and you can rent it out. You take all your provisions with you and you will need a skiff to get back and forth to Sitka. (May 2007)

This is devil's club. A tall bush like this one on the side of the gravel walkway at Sitka Historical National Park has wicked thorns. They will tear at clothing and skin, leaving nasty gashes. Ironically, a healing salve is made out of this spiny plant to cure the scraps. (July 2009)
