A Stunning Northern Lights Display at Hidden Valley Bed & Breakfast – October 11, 2024
At Hidden Valley Bed & Breakfast, we are truly blessed to be situated in one of the most spectacular regions in the world for viewing the Northern Lights. On the night of October 11th, 2024, the sky put on a breathtaking display of the Aurora Borealis that left our guests in awe and reminded us why Yukon is one of the best destinations for aurora viewing.
Viewing the Northern Lights in Canada
As the sun dipped below the horizon and the crisp Yukon air settled over the property, our guests were treated to one of nature’s most magnificent light shows. Around 2:58 a.m., the sky above Hidden Valley came alive with sweeping bands of green, swirling above the tall silhouettes of the spruce trees surrounding the property. The Northern Lights stretched across the sky in a vivid dance, casting a gentle glow over the landscape.
The images captured that night showcase the stunning spectacle, as waves of vibrant green and hints of purple wove their way across the heavens. Guests who had ventured outside to our private deck were treated to a memory they’ll likely carry for a lifetime. Many said it was their first time witnessing the Aurora Borealis, and they couldn’t have chosen a better place to experience it.

What Makes the Northern Lights So Special?
The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, occur when solar winds interact with the Earth’s magnetic field, creating stunning lights that paint the sky in shades of green, blue, and even purple. This magical phenomenon is best observed in the northern regions of the world, particularly in the winter months when nights are long and dark. While the aurora is never guaranteed, guests who visit Hidden Valley between September and April have a higher chance of catching this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
October 11th’s display was one of those unforgettable nights where the aurora was especially vibrant and active. It’s moments like these that make Hidden Valley B&B such a special place to stay. Whether you’re an avid photographer or just someone who wants to take in the beauty of the world, witnessing the Northern Lights is a bucket-list experience.
