I'm not sure as to the plan but absolutely try and see it if possible.

I camped out between Laramie and Cheyenne, Wyoming this past weekend as they were supposed to be visible. For a good hour or so we were treated to a spectacular show of northern lights under a blanket of stars. It's amazing to be in a place where no street lights/city lights impede the night sky.

Everything else about this state is fucking awful including overrated Yellowstone Park. The Tetons are nice, though. I think living abroad spoiled me for scenery.
