We are currently traveling, we were at TOW about three weeks ago. The border closes at 8pm Alaskan time & opens at 8am (9-9 Canadian) there are several pullouts near lakes & glacial fields to boondock. You won’t have any problems there. In Haines there are many places to boondock in the open park along the hwy or in pullouts at lakes or the Icefield.
