Dallas Skyline
Excellent views of the Reunion Tower and downtown skyscrapers immediately after takeoff from Love Field.
Possum Kingdom Lake
A large, serpentine reservoir known for its dramatic cliffs and the iconic Hells Gate formation.
Caprock Escarpment
The striking geological boundary where the rolling plains abruptly rise to the flat Llano Estacado plateau.
Ransom Canyon
Beautiful residential canyon and scenic lake carved into the limestone layers southeast of Lubbock.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the downtown Dallas skyline during departure. As you approach Lubbock, look for the sharp change in elevation at the Caprock; afternoon flights provide the best shadows to emphasize the canyon relief. This side also avoids the direct harsh glare of the southern sun during westbound travel.
