#ACCOMMODATION TOK ALASKA PROFESSIONAL#
Everyone from professional mushers to young children take part in sprint dog races, which are very entertaining. Many locals are involved in dog racing on a recreational and professional level. Tok is also known as the “Sled Dog Capital of Alaska,” which is apparent from the number of kennels in town. Despite that distinction, it is still recommended you secure reservations at least a day in advance. Its economy is based on tourism and for its size, Tok offers more hotel rooms and campsites than any other town in the state. Today the town has a population of approximately 1250. However the name was decided, the modern community of Tok began as an Alaska Road CommissionĬamp built for the construction and maintenance of the Alaska Highway. Some thought it came from the old mining maps from the late 1800s (long before Tok existed), which called the area “Tok/Slana.” While others have said it was named after an construction worker’s dog. The area was originally settled by Athabascan Indians and the name “Tok” is thought to be derived from an Athabascan word meaning “water.” The origin of the town name, however, remains somewhat controversial. From Glennallen you can head south to Valdez on the Richardson Highway or west to Anchorage on the Glenn Highway. The Alaska Highway also intersects with the Tok Cut-off leading to Glennallen. Tok is often referred to as the “Gateway to Alaska,” because it is the first major community in Alaska you come to when heading north.
