Overview

Join us as we capture Alaska in this all-inclusive 2-hour experience! Increase your chances of witnessing the Northern Lights from our prime Aurora viewing Mongolian Yurt, located outside of the city lights of Fairbanks. The layout of the property was specifically designed with the Northern Lights in mind giving us a beautiful unobstructed view of the Northern sky.

Relax in our wood heated yurt and enjoy our hot cocoa bar or sip on some tea as you wait for Lady Aurora to grace us with her presence.

Head out on a 1/2 hour mush through the frozen winter utopia and scout the trail at multiple vantage points to view the Northern Lights. Watch the sky dance amongst the stars as you travel through the black spruce forest, over ponds and through fields.
