The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is located far from any bright lights and big cities. Over a million acres in size the BWCA does not have buildings or roads in it and the only light there is natural. The light of the sun warms the Boundary Waters by day and the moon and the stars light the evening skies. There's no better place to view the bright lights of the Perseid Meteor Showers than in the Boundary Waters.
Wilderness travelers to the Boundary Waters and Quetico Park have their fingers crossed for clear skies the next few nights. If the sky remains cloudless then they will be treated to a meteor or more every minute. The bright flashes are more exciting than fireworks as the meteors streak across the sky with their tails slowly disintegrating behind. All over the sky meteors provide a night show like none other.
The Perseids peak on the 12th of August and are best seen after midnight until dawn. Lying on your back on a wilderness campsite in the BWCA you can experience all of the lights of the Boundary Waters.
