Best Time to see Northern Lights in Summer?

[mtnhappy]

When is the best time to see the Northern Lights in the summer? And where? We will be at Denali in early Sep.

You have a slight chance, around Denali. but this is an off year, with peak not being until 2012. You need to be accessable to total darkness, clear skies, meaning no clouds- full view of stars. You would be best to check the daily predictions via the Fairbanks U Geophysical web site, you need an "active" prediction, if not, forget it.

This is not a good year and the lights are not often seen on the sea...not impossible .... just not likely.

It isn't a good year as others said, but you can check here when you get closer:

Fairbanks area in winter is a good spot, I hear.
