Review & FAQ:

Most people assume that you have to head north to see the northern lights, but a spectacular show can be seen from the country's eastern coast as well. Found on the coast of Newfoundland, Gros Morne National Park is the second largest national park in Canada and one of the country's best-kept secrets when it comes to aurora viewing spots. The lights can be seen from almost everywhere in the park; truly adventurous visitors can even bring a tent, head into the back country to find a secluded camping spot, and spend the night watching the show.
