CLELAS

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of high-altitude Rocky Mountain peaks and a dense collection of Utah's most famous national parks, culminating in a spectacular view of the Las Vegas Strip on common approach paths.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏙️

Cleveland Skyline

A clear view of Terminal Tower and the Lake Erie shoreline immediately after takeoff from Hopkins.

🏔️

Rocky Mountain National Park

Jagged, snow-capped peaks including Longs Peak visible as you cross the Continental Divide.

🪨

Arches National Park

Spot the distinct red sandstone fins and the Windows Section in the Moab desert from cruising altitude.

🌵

Zion National Park

Massive cream, pink, and red sandstone cliffs that mark the edge of the Markagunt Plateau.

🔥

Valley of Fire

Bright red Aztec sandstone formations that seem to glow against the grey desert floor just north of Lake Mead.

🎰

The Las Vegas Strip

The iconic view of the world's most famous hotels and the Sphere during the final turn for landing.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for National Park enthusiasts. For the best views of the Las Vegas Strip, choose a window seat on the right as planes typically fly north of the city before turning south and west for final approach. Best viewed during 'Golden Hour' for vibrant red rock colors.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🌉

St. Louis Gateway Arch

Look for the silver sliver along the Mississippi River as you transition from the Midwest to the Great Plains.

🏔️

Pikes Peak

The most famous summit of the southern Front Range, standing tall above the Colorado springs area.

🏜️

Canyonlands National Park

Aerial views of the 'Island in the Sky' mesa and the winding Colorado River carving through red rock.

🏗️

Hoover Dam

A stunning top-down perspective of this engineering wonder and the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge.

💧

Lake Mead

The deep blue waters of the reservoir provide a stark and beautiful contrast to the surrounding Mojave Desert.

Sit behind the wing for the best view of the Grand Canyon's north rim and the Hoover Dam during the descent. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the harsh afternoon sun glare that occurs when looking south towards the desert floor.
