Sierra Nevada Mountains
Parallel the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada, offering glimpses of high-altitude granite peaks and alpine basins.
Mount Shasta
Witness the massive, snow-capped stratovolcano that dominates the Northern California landscape for over 100 miles.
Crater Lake
Look for the strikingly deep blue water contained within the collapsed caldera of Mount Mazama.
The Three Sisters
View the distinct trio of volcanic peaks as you approach the lush Willamette Valley for landing.
On the left side, the sun will be behind you during morning flights, providing perfect lighting for photography of Mount Shasta. Keep your window shade up about 60-75 minutes after departure from AZA to catch the approach into the Cascades. During winter, the snow coverage on the peaks makes the left side significantly more scenic.
