Tok, Alaska

Tok is Alaska's official welcoming committee as the first community across the Canadian border for Alaska Highway travellers. Highways lead north, south, east and west from this friendly hub community. It offers access to all the interior of Alaska, the Gold Fields, back country, scenic rivers, and public lands. Tok is the trade centre for the Athabascan Native villages of Northway, Tetlin, Tanacross, Mentasta, Eagle and Dot Lake. Local Native arts and crafts may be found in many of the gift shops.

Tok originated as an Alaska Road Commission camp for the construction of the Alcan and Glenn Highways in the 1940's during World War II. There are many tall tales about how Tok got it's name but you can discover what really happened if you stop by the Mainstreet Visitor's Center located at the intersection of the Alaska Highway and the Tok Cut Off. You will be surprised. In 1946, Tok Junction was designated a Presidential Townsite, the same year the Alcan opened to civilians and the little community gained a roadhouse

Tok has a rich history, and unlike many other Alaska communities that have moved away from frontier life, Tok remains connected to important and fascinating histories of the past as well as thriving life connected to wilderness.

From Tok, trips to historic mining communities, excursions into the real wilds, fishing, and just exploring are all possible. After you make sure you have your binoculars and spotting scope along with your camera, and the right gear, its time to experience the real Alaska. Four different directions yield four Alaska experiences each with their own geology, weather, and scenic vistas just minutes from Tok.
