Tok: The Alaska Highway's First Town
Tok sits at the junction of the Alaska Highway and the Tok Cutoff to Glennallen, roughly 200 miles southeast of Fairbanks and 90 miles from the Canadian border at Port Alcan. The community of about 1,260 people grew as a highway camp during World War II construction of the Alaska Highway and consolidated as a permanent service point for travelers coming up the ALCAN from British Columbia and Yukon. Every vehicle driving the Alaska Highway into the state passes through Tok.
Dog mushing defines winter in Tok in a way matched by few other places. The Tok Dog Mushers Association grounds host the annual Race of Champions and several other events, and kennels line the side roads around the community. Pioneer Alaska mushers from the area have historically produced strong Iditarod and Yukon Quest finishers. Summer tourism dominates the non-winter months, with the Tok Main Street Visitor Information Center serving as the first official stop for drivers entering Alaska.
The Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge stretches south of town toward the Canadian border and provides habitat for large numbers of migrating waterfowl. The Tanana River drainage defines the geography to the north. Winter temperatures in Tok regularly drop below minus 40 Fahrenheit and have recorded readings below minus 70 during exceptional cold snaps.
