When the skies are clear and the northern lights put on their dancing shoes, remember these hot tips for seeing the light show at its best. While the auroras are visible in the Yukon’s major cities, getting away from light will ensure you don’t miss a single excited electron. There are plenty of tranquil locations that offer a near-private front-row seat to the show. Consider booking a tour with a local company and remember to pack warm!

While the northern lights are visible from late-August to early-April, the best time to view them is between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. Scientists monitor the solar wind that cause auroras. This allows us to know when the northern lights will be most brilliant. Since these dancing colours happen in the upper atmosphere, cloud-free, clear skies are best if you want to see it all.
