Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an unparalleled view of the Rocky Mountain Front Range, including Rocky Mountain National Park and the iconic Scotts Bluff National Monument during descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Front Range Rockies

A continuous view of the snow-capped peaks separating the plains from the high country.

🏔️

Longs Peak

The most prominent 14,000-foot peak in northern Colorado, visible shortly after takeoff.

🏘️

Fort Collins Area

Bird's-eye view of the city and the Horsetooth Reservoir nestled in the foothills.

🏜️

Pawnee Buttes

Striking twin geological features rising abruptly from the high plains landscape.

⛰️

Scotts Bluff Monument

The massive siltstone and sandstone bluffs that served as landmarks for Oregon Trail pioneers.

Choose a morning flight for the best lighting on the mountains. Sit several rows ahead of or behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Scotts Bluff National Monument during the final approach descent.

Right Side Highlights
5.2
🦅

Barr Lake

A large wildlife refuge and reservoir visible immediately north of Denver International.

🚜

High Plains Grids

Expansive geometric patterns created by center-pivot irrigation systems across the prairie.

🛣️

I-76 Corridor

The main transit artery stretching toward Nebraska, following the ancient path of the Platte.

💧

North Platte River

The winding river valley that guides the final approach into the Scottsbluff area.

This side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset colors over the flat horizon. It offers a quieter perspective of the vastness of the American Great Plains and the intricate patterns of rural agriculture.
