Aurora borealis viewing on Marsh Lake

This region of the Yukon is considered one of the best in the world for viewing the aurora borealis. These dancing streamers can be pale green, pink, red and blue. Most often the aurora is greenish in colour, the result of particles streaming into atmosphere at speeds of up to 37,000 miles per second. For one's adventure appetite, a variety of outdoor pursuits such as dog sledding, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing and snowshoeing are available during the day. This lodge is one of the very few places where you will be able to enjoy the aurora from the comfort of your room.
