DC Outskirts
Distant views of the Potomac River and the sprawling suburban landscape surrounding the nation's capital.
Blue Ridge Mountains
The iconic, long parallel ridges of the southern Appalachian range stretching across Virginia.
Shenandoah Valley
A massive, fertile green valley nestled between the Blue Ridge and the Allegheny Mountains.
Mississippi River
A wide-angle view of the majestic river crossing near the Missouri and Arkansas border.
Ozark Mountains
Dense forest canopies and winding rivers across the rugged plateau of northern Arkansas.
Choose the left side for the most dramatic mountain geography. For the best experience, book a flight departing BWI in the late morning to have the sun high enough to illuminate the ridges without creating heavy shadows. In autumn, the foliage transition from the Mid-Atlantic to the Ozarks is particularly vibrant from this side.
