There are plenty of things to see and do in Banff National Park, but the opportunity to see the northern lights is one of the biggest draws for many tourists.
The park offers an abundance of excellent, secluded spots to watch the show, including remote mountaintops and shimmering lakes, but lucky visitors might even get the chance to see them from the town itself.
The northern lights can be seen here all throughout the year, but the best time to visit is during the winter, when the nights are long and the magnetosphere is at its most active. Map
