New River Gorge Bridge
The massive steel arch spanning the deep gorge in the heart of West Virginia is often visible midway through the flight.
Mount Mitchell Range
Distant views of the Black Mountains, containing the highest peaks in the eastern United States.
Lake Jocassee
A stunning mountain-fed lake known for its clear water and surrounding wilderness as you begin your descent.
Lake Keowee
Detailed views of the shoreline developments and emerald waters during the final approach into GSP.
The right side is the 'photographer's side' for this route, especially during the fall foliage peak. In the final 15 minutes, keep your camera ready for the transition from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the deep blue waters of Lake Jocassee. Choose this side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the morning sun.

Cleveland Shoreline
The industrial and urban layout of the Forest City next to the expanse of Lake Erie shortly after takeoff.
West Virginia Highlands
Dense, untouched forest canopies that change color vibrantly during the autumn season.
Ridge and Valley Province
A distinct geological region featuring long, even ridges separated by continuous valleys.
The Escarpment
The visible transition where the mountains drop off into the rolling hills of the South.
Optimal for sunrise departures to watch the light crawl over the Appalachian ridges. Look for the winding Ohio River valley in the first 20 minutes of flight. During the final descent, look for the urban sprawl of Spartanburg to the east.
