One may ask why not just stay in Yellowknife and view aurora? To experience northern lights to the fullest potential you have to get away from city lights and the "light glow " of any populated area . This lodge is fly in only -- there are no other camps or cabins within many miles -- you are in the true wilderness with no light obstructions to hinder your view of aurora. The main lodge was designed with aurora viewing in mind. All bedrooms offer prime viewing as do the dining, lounge areas, aurora room, decks, sauna deck and hot tub. The 2 night package includes special Aurora education and basic photography presentation, free AuroraWatch (wake up) service, Tire sur la neige feast (Maple sugar on Snow/winter only), and an interpretive crosscountry ski, snowshoe or hike.
