3 Destinations to Take in the Awe of the Aurora Borealis
Yellowknife, Northwest Territories If there is any place in Canada that rivals Whitehorse when it comes to the aurora borealis, it’s Yellowknife. In fact, Yellowknife is home to the Northern Lighthouse Project, a project created to monitor and report space weather. Book accommodations, go snowshoeing, spend time on the Great Slave Lake, and take in the northern lights like you’ve never seen them before. Banff, Alberta Much closer to home, Banff is also a great place to sit back and watch the northern lights. While they aren’t as intense as you’ll find in Whitehorse or Yellowknife, you can trek just outside the resort town, where light pollution is minimal, to find some amazing views. Out in the wilderness, and just a few minutes from many of the hotels, you’ll be left in awe.
Have you ever seen the aurora borealis? Also known as the northern lights, they are a staple of the Canadian winter. Living in a metro area, light pollution often washes out the splendor of the colorful river of light in the night sky. However, there are several places throughout the country where you can take in the northern lights as they were meant to be seen. Whitehorse, Yukon In the fall and winter, Whitehorse is one of the best destinations in the world to observe the northern lights. Not only can the lights be astoundingly intense in Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon offers many accommodations for wintertime sky watchers. Rent a cabin or stay at a lakeside lodge, such as The Lodge at Lake Laberge.
