It’s the most wonderful time of the year in the last frontier – Aurora Borealis season! We enjoyed many months of the incredible midnight sun and now for the first time in over 90 days we are getting real sunsets that lead to dark night sky. The best part about all of that hype is that this actually means that we have opportunities to see the brilliant colors of the dancing Northern Lights. Just wait for a clear night and be sure to post up outdoors and wait for the show of your life.
The quaint little town on the Kenai Peninsula is special for many, many reasons. When the Aurora is dancing, you will probably feel like packing all of your belongings and never leaving. It's THAT incredible!
If you head to Monashka Bay when the Aurora Borealis is dancing, you will feel like you are a part of an actual dream. Spectacular is an understatement.
From Fairbanks to Circle, you're sure to be spoiled with incredible beauty during an Aurora show. Bring a tent and do some winter camping for a truly majestic experience.
With a tiny little population of under 300 residents, you'll feel super relaxed and tranquil just sitting outside and staring up at the Aurora at night.
No matter where you are in the mighty last frontier, if the lights are out and you look up, you'll likely be able to see them dancing bright in the night's sky!
