Chena Hot Springs is known for aurora viewing. We knew it looked good for that night, so I had my shoes and coat on, ready to go. I heard people running past our cabin squealing, so I went outside, and it was unreal. I almost didn’t want to go back and get Anne, but when I got back to our cabin, she was ready to go.
We ran up and down the lanes as the aurora moved from one side to the other. The arcs and bars were strong, an intense green and well-defined. It was the most fun aurora viewing of the whole trip.
Later our stoner friend said he had taken the military van up to the mountains to see them but it wasn’t much better, and the van was very, very bumpy.
I was a little disappointed that everything was green because one inspiration for this trip was “The Shooting of Dan McGrew” by Robert Service

Green, yellow and red
The Northern Lights swept in bars
In this photo you can see a little yellow and red along the bottom,
