Front Range Vistas
During the initial climb, enjoy a distant panoramic view of the Colorado Rockies and Pikes Peak to the southwest.
Arkansas River
The flight path often parallels sections of this major waterway carving through the southern plains.
Table Rock Lake
A stunning view of the vast, winding reservoir with its jagged shoreline just before landing at Branson.
Silver Dollar City
On clear days during the descent, you may spot the sprawl of Branson's famous theme park nestled in the hills.
Sit on the right for the best views of the Ozark transition. Sunset flights provide spectacular orange and purple hues reflecting off the many lakes surrounding Branson. During autumn, this side offers the best vantage point for fall foliage colors in the hollows.
