Sierra Madre Oriental
Dramatic eastern slopes where the high plateau drops off toward the coastal plains.
Falcon Reservoir
A massive, winding body of water formed by the damming of the Rio Grande on the international border.
Gulf of Mexico Horizon
Deep blue views of the ocean as the aircraft maneuvers along the Texas coastline.
Galveston Bay
The complex network of ship channels and wetlands leading into the Port of Houston during descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Gulf. It provides the best perspective of the unique transition from the arid Mexican interior to the lush, humid Texas coast. Watch for Falcon Lake about halfway through the flight.

South Texas Brush Country
Geometric patterns of massive cattle ranches and oil pads dotting the landscape north of the border.
Houston Skyline
