Best place to view the Northern Lights? Alaska?

Question

I am taking a trip to Alaska next year, and I want to know on where is the best viewing point of those?

Answer 1

The farther north, the better, but only if it gets dark!!  Mid-summer in Alaska, that doesn't happen!

At other times, Alaska is a great place to see them, and it is truly spectacular!  Wish I could have seen that.

Answer 2

Answer 4

Actually, the best place to see the Northern Lights is not in the US(Alaska) at all.

In fact, the BEST place to see them from is a city called Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories of Canada. They have guided tours there, too.
