Small community park in North Pole, AK offering open sky views, spruce trees and seasonal snowfields — a good base for aurora, starfields and winter landscape shots.

Dress for cold, check aurora and weather forecasts, and expect some light from nearby streets and decorations tied to the town’s Christmas theme.
