Captivating Northern Lights are unmissable
Seeing the stunning Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is the stuff of dreams for many people. Charged particles from the sun entering the Earth’s atmosphere create the vibrant colors that shimmer and swirl in the night sky.
Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska, is a favorite destination for campers and hikers because of its wide open spaces, beautiful mountain vistas and abundant wildlife. It is also one of the best places in the US to see the Northern Lights, thanks to the lack of light pollution.
Cook County, Minnesota, along the shores of Lake Superior, offers plenty of outdoor spaces to lie back and watch the lights. The area is home to Minnesota’s tallest mountain peaks and highest waterfall, High Falls, all of which offer a stunning backdrop for the show in the sky.
Aurora sightings are also quite common in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, with many residents able to see the dancing lights from their garden. Visitors should head to Marquette, the major port on Lake Superior, or the Keweenaw Peninsula, the state’s most northerly area. On a clear night, the lights reflect off the largest lake in North America, creating a spectacular show.

Variety the spice of life on the Highway
A trip along Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) offers an eclectic mix of activities, urban attractions, views and natural wonders that simply must not be missed.
The PCH stretches between Los Angeles and San Francisco, California, and boasts a variety of sights to suit any taste. Snaking along the picturesque Pacific Ocean as well as inland, the highway makes for an unforgettable road trip experience.

The drive features stunning mountain and ocean views and is the pathway to Morro Bay, an area that features the best of the state’s natural wonders. Continue north on the PCH to find Point Lobos State Natural Reserve or keep going onto Monterey for a day of sightseeing.
