Aurora Borealis viewing

Seeing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) is a must for anyone visiting the Yukon. During the winter months, Dawson City’s skies often light up in breathtaking swirls of green, purple, and pink as solar particles interact with the atmosphere. Whether you join a local Aurora Borealis tour or simply look up on a clear night, you’re in for a natural spectacle.

If conditions are right, you may even catch the show right from the comfort of your stay in downtown Dawson. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that captures the wild beauty of the North.
