Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the American West, featuring the iconic Teton Range, the vibrant turquoise of Bear Lake, and a dramatic descent over the Great Salt Lake and Wasatch Mountains.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Absaroka Range

Rugged volcanic peaks that form the eastern boundary of Yellowstone National Park.

⛰️

Grand Teton

The unmistakable jagged peaks of the Teton Range are often visible to the west shortly after takeoff.

💧

Bear Lake

Known as the Caribbean of the Rockies for its intense turquoise blue color on the Utah-Idaho border.

🦅

Wasatch Mountains

A close-up view of the steep peaks and famous ski resorts during the descent into the Salt Lake Valley.

🧂

Great Salt Lake

The massive expanse of the lake and Antelope Island are frequently visible during the final approach into SLC.

Choose the right side for the most iconic landmarks. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Tetons. In winter, the snow-capped Wasatch peaks are spectacular. For evening flights, you will be treated to a sunset over the Great Salt Lake as you land.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏜️

Bighorn Basin

Expansive, colorful badlands and arid terrain immediately south of Cody.

🏔️

Wind River Range

Dramatic views of Wyoming's highest peaks, including the glaciated Gannett Peak.

🌊

Boysen Reservoir

A stark contrast of deep blue water against the rugged desert landscape of central Wyoming.

⛰️

Uinta Mountains

One of the few mountain ranges in North America that runs east-to-west, visible near the Utah border.

Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Wind River Range without glare. As the flight progresses south, look for the unique red-rock transitions near the Wyoming-Utah border. Left-side seating is generally better for avoiding the harsh afternoon sun on this southbound route.
