Check here for the road status- looks like it's open for 12.5 miles into the park. Past there you can hike, ski, mush dogs, etc. but no vehicle traffic. You can camp at the campground near the park entrance for free- check the weather first- could get really cold at night.
Get the Aurora Notifier app to check on aurora activity- things have to be pretty much perfectly aligned for you to see them- sunspot activity, lack of light pollution, cloudless night, etc., but hey, it could happen!
Good luck- you'll love it here.
Do you have the Aurora Notifier app on your phone? If not, you oughtta get is ASAP. Great photos, by the way!
Tonight, there's going to be an increase chance of catching the Northern Lights since we're still under the influence of the recent geomagnetic storm.
According to Spaceweather, >A series of CMEs hit Earth's magnetic field on June 22nd, producing a severe G4-class geomagnetic storm. Northern Lights spilled across the Canadian border into more than a dozen US states, including places as far south as Colorado, Georgia, Virginia and Arkansas.
>NOAA forecasters estimate a 90% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on June 23rd, subsiding only a little to 70% on June 24th.
This website will tell you the probability of seeing the aurora borealis directly overhead. This however, doesn't mean that you won't be able to see in the horizon even if that number is low.
Apps like AuroraNotifier and NorthernEye can send you a notification when there's an increase chance of seeing the aurora borealis.
This is based on Kp index (this website shows an example of a kp index, suggested kp minimum for a specific latitude, and a general overview on the concept) which reflects the probability of a sighting. It's based on a scale of 1-9 with +5 being storm level. Last night, the Kp index was at a 8.
Here's the Kp index predictions for the next few days.
If you have clear, dark, skies tonight, I would definitely recommend checking it out!
Det gør der faktisk: https://www.auroranotifier.com/
Desværre ikke i Danmark ser det ud til :(
Der er også en app.
Jeg har alltid brukt Aurora Notifier. Skal ikke påstå at den er best, perfekt eller mest funksjonsrik, men jeg har prøvd omtrent alt som er og ender alltid opp med kun denne.
I tillegg bruker jeg disse nettsidene:
Some sites give you a 3-day forecast, so you can be ready in advance. E.g. http://aurora-service.eu/aurora-forecast/ or http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-3-day-forecast .
Then, there are sites and apps you can use to monitor the current activity, such as http://www.nightearth.com (clicking on the Aurora button) or Aurora Notifier (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beebeetle.auroranotifier)
Depending on your latitude (the closer to the poles, the better), you may expect to be able to see frequent auroras, or you may need to wait for a really huge solar storm.
