Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic views of the massive Fort Peck Lake and the iconic Fort Peck Dam during the final approach into Wolf Point.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Yellowstone River

Clear views of the river snaking eastward shortly after departing from the Billings Rimrocks.

💧

Fort Peck Lake

A massive, sprawling reservoir that dominates the landscape with its deep blue waters and thousands of miles of shoreline.

🏗️

Fort Peck Dam

An incredible view of one of the world's largest earth-filled dams as you begin your descent.

🌾

Missouri River Valley

The lush green agricultural ribbon of the Missouri River valley contrasting with the surrounding dry plains.

Sit on the right for the best perspective of the Missouri River and Fort Peck Lake, which are the primary geographic features of this route. On early morning flights, the sun reflects beautifully off the water. The Fort Peck Dam is clearly visible on the north end of the lake just before arrival at Wolf Point.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🐍

Musselshell River

Watch for the intricate, tight meanders of this river cutting through the central Montana prairie.

🏜️

Missouri River Breaks

Stunning vistas of eroded badlands and sedimentary rock formations along the river's edge.

🦅

CMR Wildlife Refuge

Vast stretches of protected shortgrass prairie and rugged coulees home to elk and golden eagles.

Focus on the horizon to the west for the distant silhouettes of the Snowy Mountains. During winter months, the snow highlights the dramatic vertical relief of the river breaks, creating a high-contrast 'moonscape' effect that is excellent for photography.
