Superstition Mountains
Dramatic, rugged wilderness area visible almost immediately after takeoff from Mesa-Gateway.
Mogollon Rim
A massive geological escarpment marking the edge of the Colorado Plateau with dense pine forests.
Lake Powell
Stunning views of the winding blue waters of the Colorado River set against deep red sandstone.
San Rafael Swell
A giant geological dome featuring jagged rock 'reefs' and intricate canyon networks.
Wasatch Plateau
High-altitude ridges and deep valleys that lead the way toward the Salt Lake Valley region.

San Francisco Peaks
The highest mountain range in Arizona, often snow-capped, visible near Flagstaff.
Grand Canyon (West)
A distant but unmistakable view of the vast canyon system as you head north over the Kaibab Plateau.
Bryce Canyon
Aerial glimpses of the unique orange hoodoos and natural amphitheaters of Southern Utah.
Utah Lake
The expansive freshwater lake that dominates the view just before touching down in Provo.
