The northern lights are waiting for you in Yellowknife.
Soon, it wasnt just visible in the distance; the aurora was dancing right above our heads.
And stirring it was.

Called the Northern Lights Capital of North America, Yellowknife is a land of extremes.
Its also a great month for aurora viewing.
Meanwhile, September offers an ideal combination of warmer temperatures and stellar northern lights and stargazing opportunities.

(We saw the aurora three of the four nights we were there.)
(Dont worry, its worth it when you see those green and purple lights dancing overhead.)
Air Canada, WestJet, and Canadian North offer regularly scheduled flights to the city.

If you want to explore beyond the city center, consider renting a car.
