Hoover Dam & Lake Mead

A stunning view of the concrete marvel and the bright blue waters of the reservoir against the red desert rock.

The Grand Canyon

The absolute crown jewel of this route; the right side offers a sprawling perspective of the North and South Rims.

Gateway Arch

Look for the tiny silver curve of the St. Louis Arch as you cross the Mississippi River at cruising altitude.

Appalachian Mountains

The dense forests and ridgelines of Pennsylvania and New Jersey provide a lush green contrast before the final descent.

NYC Harbor & Statue of Liberty

During standard arrivals from the southwest, you often fly directly over the Verrazzano Bridge with Lady Liberty visible to the north.

San Gabriel Mountains

Immediate views of the rugged peaks and deep canyons directly north of Burbank right after takeoff.

Las Vegas Strip

On more northerly flight paths, the glittering lights or desert sprawl of the Vegas valley are clearly visible.

Great Lakes

Occasional views of the southern shores of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario during the descent through New York state.

Manhattan Skyline

If the plane enters the 'Canarsie Approach' for runway 13L, you will get a legendary panoramic view of the Empire State Building and Central Park.
