Details, including purse sizes, trails, etc., will be announced at a later date. Spectacular winter views of aurora borealis from the Sheep Creek Lodge. A pink aurora dances over Sheep Creek Lodge at Mile 88.2 on the Parks Highway between Anchorage and Fairbanks on April 6, 1994. The three arcs were visible by looking north. The pink is produced by a mixture of blue bands from ionized nitrogen mixed with red.
Pink auroras are very active with a great deal of motion.

However, in late winter the ionic displays can be nothing less than breathtaking as seen in the above photograph. Tourists from around the world come visit the Lodge to witness this natural phenomenon.
