Which side of the plane to sit from Denver International Airport (Denver) to Bob Hope Airport (Burbank)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a superior geographical showcase, featuring the high peaks of the Rockies, the distinct red rock formations of Utah, and the iconic Hollywood Sign on approach.
Rocky Mountain National Park
Exceptional views of the Continental Divide and Longs Peak immediately after takeoff from Denver.
Arches National Park
The unique red sandstone fins and natural arches near Moab are clearly visible from cruising altitude.
Zion National Park
Look for the massive white and red sandstone cliffs and deep canyons of southwestern Utah.
Mojave National Preserve
A rugged desert landscape featuring volcanic cinder cones and the vast Kelso Dunes.
Mount Wilson
Home to the historic observatory, this peak dominates the San Gabriel range during the final descent.
Hollywood Sign
The world-famous landmark is often visible on the southern hillsides during the low-altitude approach into Burbank.
The right side is best for morning flights as the sun illuminates the red rocks of Utah. For the most iconic experience, keep your camera ready during the final minutes of flight for a close-up look at the San Gabriel Mountains and the Hollywood Sign.
Pikes Peak
The southern anchor of the Front Range is visible shortly after departing the Denver area.
Canyonlands
Expansive views of the Island in the Sky district and the Colorado River confluence to the south.
Lake Mead
A massive blue reservoir contrasting with the stark Mojave Desert landscape near the Nevada border.
Las Vegas
The dense concentration of themed resorts and high-rises on the Strip is visible during descent.
Inland Empire
The vast urban sprawl of Southern California comes into focus as the flight enters the LA Basin.
Select the left side for evening departures to avoid the direct western sun while enjoying the vibrant lights of the Las Vegas Strip. It offers a broader view of the vast urban development in the Inland Empire during the final descent.
