ever since watching the movie balto as a kid, it's been a dream of mine to see the northern lights. and nicolaus and i heard that there was a chance that we would be able to see the northern lights from utah last weekend! so on friday night, we headed up to payson lakes and found a little camping spot with a perfect view of the northwestern sky. turns out, the northern lights were not visible from utah with the naked eye...but we did see a lot of pretty stars, fall colors, breathed in some fresh, mountain air and heard a whole bunch of elk calls in the night. so that was cool. and i can still live with the hope of a trip to alaska or norway to see the northern lights one day...
we had no luck either, but the stars seriously were stunning that night! and it ended up being such a fun night with friends. totally work it.
ReplyDeleteyes exactly!!
DeleteNo need to go so far north! I'm from Southern Alberta and we could see them there every once in a while. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteahh that sounds incredible! canada is another place i would love to visit! and thank you :)
DeleteBalto!! I've had the same dreams since watching that film. It is a fantasy of mine that I hope to make a reality one day. I hear Norway is beautiful for Northern Lights. Oh what a beautiful sight it would be
ReplyDeletehaha yess i'm so glad i'm not the only one!! and yes, yes, it really would be :)
Deleteaw! that's disappointing! glad you still have a good time though. :)
ReplyDeletethank you thank you :)
DeleteWe are currently living is Seward, Alaska. During the winter, the Northern Lights light up the sky in ways I can't even describe. We have a loft with your name on it if you ever want to come see them!
ReplyDeleteahhh that sounds like a DREAM. haha and careful what you wish for because i just might take you up on that one day! :)
DeleteWe tried to see them, too, but didn't get a chance to go up in the mountains. It's fun that you got to have a wilderness night!
ReplyDeleteoh nice - i wish we all could have seen them here! and it was a good time, thanks :)
