Destination Friday: Northern Lights in North America

 

Yes, I’m STILL obsessing over the Northern Lights.  I swear this is my last post about them for a while.  So I already talked about going to see them in Iceland and Norway.  I would hope that getting to Alaska or Canada would be cheaper than those options, and, of course, it’s a great excuse to visit the northern part of North America.

I found a neat 4 day/3 night tour in the Yukon Territory from Fresh Tracks Canada.  A lot of the activities will require the winter clothing rental package (assuming you don’t have your own ultra-warm winter boots and insulated headgear) – dogsledding, snowshoeing, snomobiling, and ice fishing.  Visiting the hot springs sounds like my idea of fun when it’s that cold, but I’d be interested in the dogsledding too.  And this tour has a Northern Lights viewing each night!  That’s very good.  At only $595/780 (double/single), the price may be right.
