This Chapel In Wyoming Is Located In The Most Unforgettable Setting

There’s an undeniable connection between spirituality and nature. The sun, moon, rivers, trees, mountains and nature in general have always been key elements in the spiritual world. The closer we get to nature, the more of a connection we feel deep within ourselves. That’s what makes this one chapel in Wyoming so unique. This simple little log cabin in Wyoming, located in one of the most unforgettable settings, awakens that soul-stirring connection.

The Chapel of the Transfiguration is a small log chapel that is located in the vicinity of Moose within Grand Teton National Park.

This miniature church was built in 1925 and is owned and operated by St. John's Episcopal Church in Jackson.

The simple little log chapel was originally established to serve the dude ranches that stretched along the base of the Teton Range.

The unique thing about its construction is that it was built specifically to frame a view of the Cathedral Group of peaks in the window behind the altar.

This quaint little structure is designed with log walls, stained glass windows, a picture window and a beveled plank door with decorative ironwork.

This simplistic little gem looks exactly like it was made out of Lincoln Logs.

While the chapel may be small, it managed to hit the big screen. The Church of the Transfiguration played a critical role in the movie, 'Spencer's Mountain,' that featured Henry Fonda and Maureen O'Hara.

The little tucked-away chapel not only hit the big screen in 1963 but was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

The Chapel of the Transfiguration is nestled in among some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

There’s something very endearing and powerful about this small simple chapel in contrast to the surrounding majestic landscape.
