Which side of the plane to sit from Cheyenne Regional Jerry Olson Field (Cheyenne) to Worland Municipal Airport (Worland)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more intimate look at the rugged Wyoming interior, featuring the Laramie Mountains, Casper Mountain, and distant glimpses of the spectacular Wind River Range.
Laramie Mountains
Dramatic granite formations and pine-covered ridges visible shortly after takeoff from Cheyenne.
Casper Mountain
A prominent 8,000-foot ridge that dominates the skyline south of the city of Casper.
Boysen Reservoir
A vast blue reservoir surrounded by the colorful, eroded badlands of the Wind River Canyon area.
Wind River Range
On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of Wyoming's highest mountains are visible on the western horizon.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic mountain scenery. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Laramie and Wind River ranges. In winter, the snow cover highlights the sharp topographical relief of the basin-and-range landscape.
Casper Cityscape
A clear view of the North Platte River winding through Wyoming's second-largest urban center.
Shirley Basin
A massive, high-altitude desert basin known for its vast openness and unique geological formations.
Bighorn Mountains
The southern end of the Bighorn Range comes into view during the descent into the Big Horn Basin.
Energy Infrastructure
Look for large-scale wind farms and traditional energy plants that define the central Wyoming landscape.
The right side is perfect for afternoon or sunset flights to avoid the glare of the western sun. It offers a better perspective of the vastness of the Wyoming plains and the approaching Bighorn Mountains during the final approach into Worland.
