Planning Aurora Viewing
Aurora planning near Whitehorse starts with darkness, cloud cover, solar activity, and a safe location away from bright city light. A longer stay creates more chances, but no forecast or tour can guarantee a display.
Dress for stationary time outdoors, confirm transport and cancellation terms, and avoid stopping on dark roads or private property. Camera batteries drain quickly in cold weather, so keep spares warm and prepare settings before leaving town.
