Lake Lanier
A massive, intricate reservoir located just northeast of Atlanta, serving as a primary landmark during climb-out.
Mount Mitchell
The highest peak in the Appalachian Mountains and the entire Eastern United States, standing at 6,684 feet.
Pisgah National Forest
Vast, unbroken canopies of hardwood forest that turn vibrant colors during the autumn months.
New River Gorge Area
As you descend into Lewisburg, watch for the deep carvings of the ancient New River winding through the plateau.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sunrise illuminating the mountain peaks. To see Mount Mitchell, look out approximately 25-30 minutes into the flight. During autumn, this side offers the most consistent views of the changing foliage across the Blue Ridge Parkway corridor.

Atlanta Perimeter
Glimpse the sprawling northern suburbs and the distinct skyline of Buckhead shortly after takeoff.
Great Smoky Mountains
Expansive views of the misty, rolling ridgelines that define the border between Tennessee and North Carolina.
Douglas Lake
A large reservoir visible as the flight path skirts the western edge of the high mountains.
Appalachian Trail Ridges
Track the high altitude spine of the mountains where the legendary hiking trail crosses into Virginia.
Choose the left side for afternoon or evening flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side provides a better perspective of the Tennessee Valley and the dramatic 'blue' haze that gives the Smoky Mountains their name. Keep an eye out for the Cherokee National Forest during the mid-flight segment.
