Tok (pronounced like "toke" rhymes with "folk") is the Gateway to Alaska. The first town with facilities after crossing the border into Alaska from the Yukon Territories, Canada
About a four hour drive from Fairbanks, Tok is a small town reminiscent of a gold-rush community that has adapted to tourism and the local forestry industry. Complete with a grocery store, several local shops and businesses, a couple restaurants and a few hotels and motels for weary travelers passing through the area. Less of a destination than a stop on the journey, Tok is a friendly town that is welcoming to outsiders of all stripes and types.
