Of the states listed, northern Alaska has a high chance of seeing the northern lights. Within the contiguous U.S., areas of Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota have the highest chance of seeing the northern lights, though the likelihood is still low.
NOAA recommends traveling to a high, north-facing vantage point away from light pollution between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., when the northern lights are most active. Aurora borealis is most visible throughout the winter months as days are shorter, though they can still be seen year-round depending on solar activity.
