Aurora Viewing at Takhini River Lodge

Takhini River Lodge is perfectly situated; at the end of a quiet country road that parallels the Takhini River and is surrounded by open snow-covered farm fields. Spend your evenings watching the Yukon's famous Northern Lights from the large decks and the sumptuous guest lounge. Gourmet European-style breakfasts and 3-course dinners are included in your stay.
