Follow the glow

Your glimpse of thenorthern lights path

From the entrance, through the fields and the maze, past the trees and the castle, and out by the snowflakes. Where you're headed. Not what's waiting.

  1. more colorful sights

Somewhere in the pines

The lights are already waiting.

Just south of town, a winding path through the ponderosas is about to glow. Bundle up, grab a hand, and follow the lights. We'll leave the rest for you to find.

A few glimpses

What's waiting out there

The full picture is only on the path.

01

The Castle

Every light story needs a castle. Ours glows brighter the closer you get.

02

The Maze

Pick a path. Pick another. Somebody in your group is getting lost, and it's half the fun.

03

Santa's Sleigh

Parked on the path, just past the castle. The night catches up to it.

04

And a few surprises

Deer Field, polar bears, a globe, and snowflakes overhead. A few more stay on the walk.

A magical night for every crowd.

Families on one side, a date on the other.

Kids lit up by the lights

A night they'll talk about until next Christmas.

Mittens on, cocoa in hand, eyes wide. Made for little elves and the grown-ups chasing them.

Bring a date

A winter date night under the glow. Walk slow. Stay a while.

Our story

Our hello letter tothe town that raised us

Brothers Birch, Brooks and Kai, founders of Northern Lights of Flagstaff
Family-owned · Flagstaff-made

Meet the brothers

Birch, Brooks, and Kai grew up under these dark mountain skies, and now they're raising their kids here too. They always felt Flagstaff deserved a winter tradition as magical as the place itself. So they built one.
