Sangre de Cristo Mountains
The southern tip of the Rocky Mountains, featuring jagged peaks that define the New Mexico landscape.
Arches and Canyonlands
Stunning vistas of the red rock desert and labyrinthine canyons near Moab, Utah, during the mid-flight transition.
Great Salt Lake

Book an afternoon flight to catch the 'Golden Hour' over the Utah desert, which makes the red rock formations appear to glow. During the final descent, the Left Side typically provides a better view of the Great Salt Lake's Antelope Island. Be mindful of the sun's position on westbound afternoon flights, as it may be directly in your line of sight.
