Hyder, Alaska is more of a Canadian outpost than it is a town belonging to the United States. Believe it or not, there are only 87 residents in this tiny, easternmost corner of Alaska, and all of the businesses (except the U.S. Post Office) run on Canadian currency and B.C. time! If you live in Hyder, you can’t even call the cops, just the nearby Canadian Mounties.
