Chasing the aurora in Yellowknife

We headed out at 10pm, and drove to Prosperous Lake, about half an hour away from Yellowknife along the Ingraham Trail.

Spectacular Northwest Territories

A trip to Yellowknife had been on the table for quite awhile; it is a personal goal of ours to visit all corners of our country, and the Northwest Territories marked the 12th province/territory.

One of the main reasons people come to Yellowknife is undoubtedly to see the northern lights, or aurora borealis. I have personally never seen them before, but some have sent pictures from trips to Iceland and northern Ontario, and I knew this was something I wanted to see at least once in my life.
