A very unique town is Hyder AK. Isolated from the rest of the state by land, it does not even have a border crossing when coming in. It keeps time with British Columbia instead of the rest of Alaska except for the Post Office. It is truly an international town and fine with it. It is a ghost town that hasn't given up the ghost. Not a paved road in town. They have a boardwalk over Fish Creek so one can watch the bears feed, but the twice we went there we did not see any, even though there were plenty of Chum Salmon in the river. But what really makes this place spectacular is that it is surrounded by peaks with glaciers hanging off of most every one..
