Best time to visit Yellowknife
The best time to visit Yellowknife depends on what you want to do during your trip.
Summer (June to August) is a great time to visit if you want to enjoy the outdoors. The weather is mild and sunny, and there are many opportunities for hiking, camping, fishing, and canoeing. There are also a number of cultural festivals and events held during the summer months, such as the Midnight Sun Festival and the Folk on the Rocks Music Festival.
Winter (December to March) is the best time to see the northern lights. Yellowknife is one of the best places in the world to see the aurora borealis, and there is a good chance of seeing them on any clear night during the winter months. Winter is also a great time to experience other winter activities, such as dog sledding, snowmobiling, and ice fishing.
If you are interested in seeing both the northern lights and enjoying the outdoors, then the best time to visit Yellowknife is September to November or April to May. During these months, the weather is still relatively mild, and there is a good chance of seeing the northern lights. However, keep in mind that the days are shorter during these months, so you will have less time for outdoor activities.
