Come to Alaska and enjoy The Aurora Watch^®  with world-renowned Aurora Photographer, Dave Parkhurst, as the 'Night Watchman'.  The Aurora Watch^®  Tours are available for booking now.  Nights will be spent on "Aurora Watch" waiting for Mother Nature to put on her show.  As with all natural phenomenon, it can't be guaranteed that Mother Nature will perform, but statistically your chances of enjoying aurora in Alaska are more than excellent. It will be fun waiting and watching out for the greatest light shows on Earth.
