Which side of the plane to sit from Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field (Boise) to Denver International Airport (Denver)?

Search flights from BOI to DEN
Uinta Mountains
Spectacular views of Utah's highest east-west running mountain range, often snow-capped.
Flaming Gorge Reservoir
The vibrant blue waters of the Green River cutting through deep red rock canyons.
Dinosaur National Monument
Rugged canyonlands and dramatic geological folds near the Utah-Colorado border.
Rocky Mountain National Park
A close-up view of the 14,000-foot Longs Peak and the alpine tundra of the Front Range.
Denver Skyline
The city buildings and the golden dome of the State Capitol often appear during the final turn to land.
The right side is the clear winner for mountain scenery. For the best experience, book a window seat behind the wing to see the Uinta Mountains and the descent over Rocky Mountain National Park. On an evening flight, you will have a front-row seat to the sunset over the Continental Divide. During landing at DEN, this side often provides the best view of the downtown skyline.

Snake River Plain
Vast volcanic landscapes and agricultural patches stretching east from Boise.
Wind River Range
Distant views of Wyoming's most rugged and highest mountain peaks to the north.
Red Desert
A high-altitude desert landscape featuring unique badlands and salt flats in southern Wyoming.
Laramie Mountains
The northernmost extension of the Front Range visible just before the final descent.
Sit on the left for long-range views of Wyoming's wilderness. This side is typically better for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun, allowing for clearer photos of the distant Wind River Range. Watch for the stark contrast between the green river valleys and the arid Great Divide Basin.
