The One Mesmerizing Place In Wyoming To See The Northern Lights

The wide open spaces in Wyoming provide more than just room to move around. With no towering skyscrapers or blinding city lights to block out the night sky, it's a great place for stargazing. What's more, the unobstructed view offers a glimpse of the Aurora Borealis from time to time. When the northern lights put on a dazzling show, there are several spots across the state where you can see them, but viewing them from Clark is a mesmerizing experience you'll never forget.

Wyoming sits in a prime spot for viewing the Aurora Borealis when it appears in the night sky.

Clark, Wyoming up in the northern part of the state is one of the most mesmerizing places to be when the aurora is forecasted to appear.

Clark isn't a town. It's actually a rural community in Park County.

The Clark area borders the Shoshone National Forest, a gorgeous place to be during the day.

When the northern lights appear, however, it's the place to be for an amazing view of the surreal but spectacular colors.

The mystical hues ripple and swell across the sky like a colorful, hypnotic tide.

The show can last anywhere from 10 minutes to dawn's early light, depending on the strength of the solar wind blowing it in.

It's truly a riveting show to watch:
