San Gabriel Mountains

Lake Mead
The bright blue waters of the reservoir contrasted against the dark desert landscape.
Zion National Park
Aerial views of the deep canyons and red sandstone cliffs of Southern Utah's 'Mighty 5' region.
Wasatch Range
The massive mountain wall that borders Salt Lake City to the east, offering stunning snow-capped views in winter.
Utah Lake
A large freshwater lake located just south of the Salt Lake Valley, visible during the descent.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right and book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the red rocks of Utah. This side is superior for seeing the dramatic transition from the Mojave Desert into the alpine scenery of the Wasatch Mountains.
