You can see them around Red Deer, in fact we had a fantastic autumn overnight tour that was highlighted by northern lights and the howls of coyotes.
And you can see them up around Grande Prairie where I lived for many years.
In both Red Deer and Grande Prairie, they appeared in red, green, and white.
But apparently there are even more colours further north.
Personally, I want to see the "southern lights".
The glorious southern skies at night aren' t enough for you? I only saw the southern lights (aurora australis) once in ten years, and they were a distant, flickering green showing over the gentle hills behind our property. Those in the know (my well-travelled neighbours) told me the northern lights were better, but I was impressed enough.
