Seeing the Northern Lights

In Canada's extreme north, there are accommodations and tours specifically designed to see the Northern Lights. The best spot to stay in Yukon to see the magnificent Aurora Borealis is at the Northern Lights Resort and Spa, which is just outside of Whitehorse. The lodge has heated log cabins as well as brand-new glass chalets, so you don't even have to leave the warmth of your bed to see the displays.

If traveling in the winter doesn't sound like your ideal holiday, it's not a problem because the Aurora may appear in Canada at any time of the year. Clear nights from the middle of August to the middle of April are when the Yukon's light show can be seen, however viewing is better outside of Whitehorse, the city's capital.

Not only will you be more likely to observe Lady Aurora in action, but you'll also get the unique opportunity to visit a location where very few people ever go.
