I recognize the witch's hair and the devil's club leaves, but what are the red berries? Taken at Petroglyph Beach in Wrangell, Alaska, Sept 2019.

I don't think so. Could be in the same family, maybe.

Could it be a Mountain Ash? I think there is more of a shrub - small tree version that is in the pacific northwest into Alaska.

Not all who wander are lost

They are used as landscape trees in our area. Mountain Ash of some sort.

Definitely Sorbus sp....common name Mountain Ash.

Sorbus sitchensis as mentioned by NJBob, is just one possibility...there are others.

Thanks for the quick replies, everyone!
terrafirma - here is a close-ups of the leaves. They seem to be just a bit out of focus though, so not sure it will help.
