"Framed by the Selkirk range and located in Idaho's Panhandle National Forests about 30 miles from the Canadian border, Priest Lake attracts photographers for its mountain framing and rugged, remote setting, and a lodge on the lake can make a northern lights getaway very convenient—sometimes the aurora can even be seen from the property itself." - Stefanie Waldek
"A northern Idaho lake area surrounded by dark, forested terrain that increases the likelihood of spotting auroras farther south in the state, making it a recommended destination when solar activity spikes." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
