Budget Queen Posted May 11, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Nope, sorry, not a chance. You have an excellent oportunity for wildlife however at Denali Park- with the Tundra Wilderness tour, which you have??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roly Posted May 11, 2009 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2009 This time of year is does not get dark. At 2AM it will look like 8PM in Texas. I missed them also, will have to go in winter some time. Roly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chenega Posted May 11, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2009 In fact, Northern Lights displays have been very infrequent due to the low ebb of what is often referred to as the 10-11 year solar cycle. As Budget Queen recommends, spend your time looking for wildlife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slabeaume Posted May 12, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I saw them Aug. of 2007 the night we left Skagway heading back towards Seattle. They were spectacular---and short lived.
