Where can i see the aurora borealis most visibly?

I want to know where in the United State, including Alaska, would I be able to see the aurora burealis.





Please try to narrow it down. It would be very helpful.|||Alaska is a great place to see the lights, and the further out of town you go the better the viewing. The are more dramatic at times when there is less moon. And they tend to appear the most when most people are sleeping (or so it seems)





Outside of Fairbanks are 2 nice places to stay if you want good viewing. The Chena Hot Springs resort, which also has an outdoor hot spring, and other activities is very nice, but a little more touristy and pricey.

More local is the Chatanika Lodge, which is worth a visit just to see the animal mounts and pictures of the outhouse races.

The sky brightened up with colors of red and green. It looked like a sunset. Another time there was a ghostly green bow that crossed the sky. Sometimes there are shimmering curtains. Between latitudes 50 and 70 degrees are where you will most likely get a good view.





It needs to be inland, away from the cloudy skies of the coast. Fairbanks is great because it has clear skies and long, dark winter nights. The summer nights there don't get dark. You won't see the aurora from May to August in Fairbanks (see ref). Anchorage is at 60 degrees north, but it is often cloudy in the winter. Once in a while, though, it will get a beautiful auroral display on a clear, dark night.|||Currently it is not available as the sun is experiencing an extended solar minimum. The Aurora depends on high sun spot activity to provide the needed energy so you will have to wait until the sun returns to high activity mode.|||In the night, near the poles.|||Generally, the farther north you are, the better. However, I saw better displays in Massachusetts than I saw in Alaska.|||This shows an estimate of the current auroral oval in the northern hemisphere, so it should give you some idea:
