"After a 9 hour drive from Vancouver, we started cresting the mountain pass into Banff National Park as we noticed a bright cloud in the sky.

After a little while I pulled over, turned the lights off and noticed the color in the cloud. It was not in fact a cloud... it was the Aurora Borealis!

We rushed to this spot and setup so we could watch the lights all night!"

Lodgepole

Dark sky views at Lodgepole Campground is one of the reasons why it’s such a popular campspot in Sequoia National Park.
