Review & FAQ:

Whitehorse is the biggest city in Northern Canada, and it also happens to be an incredible place to see the aurora. The city is completely surrounded by wilderness, and there are plenty of tour operators prepared to take visitors to the many incredible aurora watching locations scattered throughout the area. Depending on your interests, you can watch the show while staying at a well-equipped lodge, while enjoying the comfort of an outdoor hot tub, or while escaping the hustle and bustle of life in a remote backcountry cabin. The lights typically appear here between the middle of August and the middle of April. Map
