After driving around Ontario, chasing the Northern Lights for months and coming up short, I FINALLY found them right here in Whitehorse, Yukon.
My dad and I went out with the tour group Northern Tales on Thursday evening for an INCREDIBLE aurora borealis viewing party. And guess what? We had beginner’s luck; our first night out, and we spotted them.
Our tour guide, Wolfe, picked us up around 10:45 p.m., drove us about 30 minutes north of the city near Mayo Rd. Once we arrived on site, there were two cabins, a bon fire, warm drinks, and snacks — making our experience comfortable. We also met tourists from all over the world (about 65 were there in total), some who camped out for numerous evenings waiting for the dancing colours.
I am so happy to have witnessed this! It’s rare for a Toronto-area girl. I am also blessed to have seen them with my dad. A memorable, wonderful experience.

I can totally imagine being in heaven with that kind of experience. YAY for you and your dad!
It really was, Ginnie! At one point, I was dancing because I was so happy! 🙂
An experience you will never forget, Emily – I can imagine the excitement. What wonderful greens.
Oh yes! I didnt have any expectations, but I was so surprised and overjoyed when they came out. 🙂
Lovely photos! I hope to witness northen light in person someday 🙂
