Memories Travel to Canada

18 hours of
nighttime to see the Aurora Borealis
01 million
mile-per-hour solar winds
60 miles above
the earth is where the Northern Lights dance
Head 20 minutes
into the wilderness outside Whitehorse in the northwest Canadian territory of
the Yukon to watch the Northern Lights at their brightest in winter’s complete
darkness. Northern Tales and Travel’s unique viewing site is their Northern
Lights Trading Post, a comfortable prospector-style wall tent once used by gold
seekers and trappers. Bundle up and head outside to marvel as the night sky
billows with mysterious curtains of rainbow colours from green and yellow to
pink and blue. Step inside where it’s toasty, heated by a wood-fired barrel
stove, and warm your hands around a mug of hot chocolate. Hear stories of
Northern life from local guides who make maple taffy right in front of your
eyes. Dazzled but sleepy in the wee hours of morning, head back to your hotel
in the lively Northern town of Whitehorse, your base, to explore historical
buildings from the gold rush era. Then bundle up again the next evening for an
encore performance of nature’s Technicolor fireworks, fingers crossed for
a cloud-free sky.
