Happy New Year to you!!!

We used to think getting the coveted Blue Zone ticket was the hardest part but that was actually just the beginning. The real challenge was sprinting to secure a spot, standing completely still at 1°C for over four hours, and not being able to p*e for more than seven. The moment we arrived, people started pushing as more tried to squeeze to the front. Holding our ground until midnight felt like surviving a battlefield.

After the fireworks ended, we knew this would be our first and last time. Many said last year was better when people could move down for a much better unobstructed view, and the fairy lights installed nearby this year were incredibly distracting, so much so that people kept asking for them to be turned off.

What we learned: if you don’t have a ticket, watching it on TV is honestly the best option. If you do have one, queue early, run fast, or expect your view to be blocked by trees. The Blue Zone looks huge on the map, but good spots with a truly clear view are extremely limited.

Is it worth it? For us, probably not a second time. Once is enough to tick it off as a core memory.

This was hands down one of the craziest nights of aurora chasing we’ve ever had.

Top Aurora Spots In Banff, Ranked From Least Ideal to Most Ideal

Planning to chase the northern lights in Banff or Alberta, here is a practical guide to the most talked-about lakes and what to expect at each one. Save this for your next aurora trip.

1. Lake Minnewanka

Close to town and a common starting point for beginners. The north-facing view helps, but light pollution is noticeable and constant car headlights along the road can be frustrating during long exposures.

2. Two Jack Lake

Calm, scenic and often quieter than Minnewanka, but the car park can get crowded and the light pollution from cars is very serious. Reflections are beautiful on windless nights, though patience is needed.

3. Vermilion Lakes

The easiest place to shoot auroras in Banff. Park right beside the lake and set up fast. Reflections are great during strong KP events, but town glow is visible and compositions can get busy.

4. Peyto Lake

High elevation and darker skies make this a favourite among dedicated aurora chasers, but you need to hike a distance from the parking lot to reach the lookout. The wind here can be brutal, especially in winter.

5. Lake Louise

World famous, but the lake faces south. Unless the KP is high, you might not see much aurora in that direction. When the conditions align, the glacier backdrop creates dramatic results.

6. Moraine Lake [Our Favorite]

Nothing beats the Ten Peaks when the aurora erupts, but access is restricted at night since no private cars are allowed beyond the entrance. You need to take shuttles during operational seasons. At the top of the Rockpile, the wind can be extremely strong. Like Lake Louise, the view faces south so higher KP helps.

Which side are you on?

The rare red aurora storm on 11 Nov 2025 cut the night sky in half, and it felt like the sky wanted an answer from us.

Most people think red auroras are rare but the truth is people living in lower latitudes see red glows near the horizon quite often during moderate storms. What is truly rare is a night when the entire sky turns red from top to bottom, which usually only happens during the most extreme geomagnetic storms.

On 11 November 2025 the storm was so strong that the red emission band rose far above the horizon and filled the whole sky. This is something even high latitude chasers almost never witness because the red layer forms at very high altitude and needs an exceptionally powerful disturbance to brighten enough to take over the whole dome.

Seeing the sky fully painted in red is one of the rarest auroral scenes you can get, which makes 11 November a once in many years moment for anyone who was out there shooting.

While we were watching one of the most intense pulsating auroras after the cannibal CME struck, a super bright meteor suddenly streaked across the sky and left us completely sp*echless.

Milky Way rising above Mount Fuji — April 8, 2025
Captured on a moonlit night when the Milky Way slowly climbed above Japan’s most iconic peak. The moon was still bright when it started rising, and just as the moon set, the first light of dawn began to take over the sky.
