Tanana, AK

united states

Tanana sits where the Yukon and Tanana rivers meet, 130 miles west of Fairbanks. No year-round roads reach this community of 334, so most visitors fly into Ralph M Calhoun Memorial Airport or arrive by boat during summer. Winter ice roads from Fairbanks provide seasonal access when rivers freeze. The town operates one of Alaska's last traditional fish wheels for catching salmon.
