Cool Northern Lights In Jasper National Park Ideas. Here are some of our favourite spots to power down and look up. As with other destinations, the farther north you go, the better your chances for viewing the dancing lights.

Thus, aurora borealis is the dawn of the north. Best locations pyramid island, maligne lake, old fort point and the toe of athabasca glacier are four outstanding sites within the park which are accessible year round for dark sky viewing. I am unable to find accommodations for the east side of the park, all booked up, but can find a few homes on west side near columbia falls.
