BUR → DEN
Which side of the plane to sit from Bob Hope Airport (Burbank) to Denver International Airport (Denver)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers prime viewing of the Grand Canyon's expanse and the deep blue waters of Lake Mead, making it the superior choice for iconic Southwestern landscapes.
Inland Empire
Clear views of Mt. San Antonio and the sprawling communities of eastern Greater Los Angeles.
Lake Mead & Hoover Dam
The massive reservoir and the iconic dam are often visible as the flight path passes south of Las Vegas.
Grand Canyon
A front-row seat to the immense scale and colorful layers of the world's most famous canyon.
Lake Powell
Winding blue channels cutting through bright red sandstone canyons near the Arizona-Utah border.
San Juan Mountains
Rugged alpine terrain and high-altitude lakes in Southern Colorado during the descent.
Book the right side for afternoon flights to see the Grand Canyon bathed in warm 'golden hour' light. Keep your window shade down initially to prevent glare until you reach cruising altitude, then watch for the turquoise water of Lake Mead about 40 minutes after takeoff.
San Gabriel Mountains
Immediate views of the rugged peaks bordering the Los Angeles basin shortly after takeoff.
Mojave Desert
Expansive vistas of arid basins and the distinctive shapes of the Providence Mountains.
Las Vegas North
A view of the northern suburbs and the surrounding desert ranges of Southern Nevada.
Zion National Park
Distant but visible red rock formations of Southern Utah's high plateaus.
Colorado Rockies
A spectacular crossing of the snow-capped peaks near the Continental Divide.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun at your back, providing better contrast for photos of the Colorado Rockies. This side is also better for spotting the San Andreas Fault line as you leave the LA area.
