Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Rocky Mountain Front Range, including the Snowy Range and Rocky Mountain National Park, as you travel south from Casper.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
⛰️

Casper Mountain

Located just south of the airport, this rugged ridge provides an immediate scenic start to the flight.

❄️

Snowy Range

Aerial views of the Medicine Bow Mountains, featuring jagged peaks that remain snow-capped well into summer.

🏔️

Rocky Mountain National Park

Prominent views of Longs Peak and the Continental Divide as the aircraft approaches Northern Colorado.

🌆

Front Range Skyline

A sweeping view of the urban corridor from Fort Collins down to the distant Denver skyline against the mountain backdrop.

This is the premier side for geography enthusiasts. For the most dramatic lighting, book a morning flight to see the sunrise illuminate the eastern faces of the Rockies, or an evening flight to see the mountains silhouetted against a colorful sunset. Keep an eye out for Horsetooth Reservoir near Fort Collins shortly before beginning the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
5.8
🌊

North Platte River

Catch glimpses of the winding river valley cutting through the high desert landscape south of Casper.

🌾

High Plains Expanses

Vast, rolling grasslands of the Pawnee National Grassland area near the Wyoming-Colorado border.

⛺

DEN Jeppesen Terminal

As you descend into Denver, look for the iconic white-tented roof of the airport terminal, modeled after the Rockies.

Choose this side if you are flying in the early morning to avoid the direct glare of the sun or if you want a clear view of the airport's unique architecture upon landing. It offers a peaceful view of the vast prairie landscape and the occasional wind farm.
