The Northern Lights is a phenomenon that attracts tourists from all over the world to Canada. The Great White North is one of the best places in the world to admire the light show of Mother Nature, who, like an artist, paints the sky with bright purple, green, red and yellow colors.

It is truly a unique phenomenon that is mesmerizing. These six locations in Canada are some of the best places in the world to observe this spectacular natural phenomenon.

Whitehorse, Yukon

The Yukon is Canada’s smallest territory and has a small population, but it is the most marvelous and ideal place to see the Northern Lights.

Go to Whitehorse during the winter months, when the nights are very long and you can watch the natural wonder for a long time. There are many special tours here that also include Spa vacations, hot springs, remote trips to yurts and secluded lodges.

La – Ronge, Saskatchewan

Head to the prairie wilderness of Northern Saskatchewan, where you’ll find some of the darkest skies in North America. A large number of tours depart from the town of La Ronge.

Mancho Lake State Park

British Columbia offers you a great option for observing the northern lights. The glow is reflected in the calm waters of Mancho Lake, and a cabin in the northern Rocky Mountains is a great place to travel any time of year.

Fort McMurray, Alberta

Because Fort McMurray is located in the auroral zone (the place where the aurora borealis mostly occurs), it is a hot spot for tourists. There are plenty of excursions and expeditions waiting for you here.

Rankin Inlet, Nunavut

Rankin Inlet, population 2,865, is located on the northwest shore of Hudson Bay. Northern Canada is one of the most remote places in Canada and it’s also very cold. The Northern Lights adorn the gloomy days of winter with streaks of colorful light.

Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

The Northwest Territories are the eastern neighbor of the Yukon. In the winter, tourists have a 90 percent chance of seeing the Northern Lights.
