Where to watch the Meteor Shower in Edmonton
Across the country, you can get glimpse of the meteor shower but if you’re searching for the best views – head to the dark sky preserve at Elk Island National Park, or other areas outside of the city that aren’t polluted by light.
To get the best views, you’re going to have to stay up late – or get up very early, with the best views happening at around 1 am. To get the best experience, make sure you allow at least twenty minutes for your eyes to adjust to the darkness.
Find a dark spot, head out and enjoy the show!
