Front Range Panorama
A constant view of the Rocky Mountain chain stretching from Southern Wyoming deep into Colorado.
Longs Peak
The highest point in Rocky Mountain National Park, standing at 14,259 feet, is clearly visible to the west.
Northern Front Range Cities
Aerial views of Fort Collins, Loveland, and Greeley as the plane enters Colorado airspace.
Pawnee Buttes
Two prominent geologic twin peaks rising out of the Pawnee National Grassland.
Denver Skyline
Depending on the approach pattern, catch glimpses of the downtown Denver skyline against the mountain backdrop.
This is the premier side for this route. Aim for an afternoon flight when the sun is behind you, illuminating the snow-capped peaks of the Rockies. On clear days, you can see all the way from the Medicine Bow Mountains in the north to Pikes Peak in the south. Be prepared with a camera shortly after takeoff, as the flight duration is very short (often under 45 minutes).

Wildcat Hills
Dramatic escarpments and rugged pine-covered ridges located just south of Scottsbluff.
High Plains Agriculture
Expansive views of center-pivot irrigation circles creating a quilt-like pattern across the Nebraska-Colorado border.
DEN Final Approach
Wide views of the massive Denver International Airport complex and its iconic 'tented' Jeppesen Terminal.
Sit on this side for sunrise views over the high plains on early morning flights. While less dramatic than the mountains, you can see the vastness of the prairie and the intricate patterns of the agricultural landscape. Watch for the sudden transition from rural land to the dense suburban development of the Aurora area during landing.
