BZN → DEN
Which side of the plane to sit from Gallatin Field (Bozeman) to Denver International Airport (Denver)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a front-row seat to the most iconic peaks of the American Rockies, including the Grand Tetons, the Wind River Range, and Rocky Mountain National Park.
Grand Teton National Park
Spectacular views of the jagged Teton Range and the Snake River winding through Jackson Hole.
Wind River Range
A massive wilderness area featuring Gannett Peak and some of the largest glaciers in the Rockies.
Medicine Bow Mountains
The Snowy Range provides a striking contrast of white quartzite peaks against deep blue alpine lakes.
Rocky Mountain National Park
Direct views of the Continental Divide and the 14,259-foot summit of Longs Peak.
Boulder & The Flatirons
Dramatic slanted rock formations hugging the foothills just before the descent into Denver.
For the most dramatic experience, sit on the right side. The Grand Tetons appear within the first 20 minutes of flight. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photography of the mountain faces. Be sure to look for the distinct 'U' shaped glacial valleys as you cross into Colorado.
Beartooth Mountains
Vast high-altitude plateau and rugged peaks visible shortly after departure from Bozeman.
Bighorn Mountains
A massive, isolated mountain range in north-central Wyoming rising sharply from the plains.
North Platte River
Follows the river's winding path as it cuts through the arid landscape of central Wyoming.
Casper, Wyoming
A clear bird's-eye view of this historic oil town and the Laramie Range to its south.
The High Plains
Sweeping views of the vast eastern plains where the mountains finally give way to the horizon.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers better views of the Bighorn Mountains and the sprawling expanses of the Wyoming plains. During the final approach into DEN, you may get a superior view of the airport's iconic white-tented Jeppesen Terminal.
