Aurora Borealis over Niven Lake, Yellowknife

I recently traveled to the Northwest Territories for a long-awaited and much-anticipated Northern Lights trip, and Yellowknife completely stole my heart. The aurora borealis, the stunning landscapes and the incredible community were all unforgettable. While we spent a couple nights on guided aurora tours, we experienced many gorgeous, dancing displays just from the balcony of our Niven Lake rental. It truly was a magical experience, and I cannot wait to return next September!
