Rocky Mountain National Park
Shortly after takeoff, view the majestic Longs Peak and the snow-capped summits of the Continental Divide.
Medicine Bow Mountains
Fly over the Snowy Range in southern Wyoming, known for its quartzite peaks and alpine lakes.
Wind River Range
Pass the jagged skyline of Gannett Peak, the highest point in Wyoming, visible in the distance to the northwest.
Yellowstone National Park
Look down upon Yellowstone Lake, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and potentially steam rising from the Old Faithful area.
Gallatin Range
A close-up view of the rugged peaks as the plane descends into the Gallatin Valley towards Bozeman.
For the most dramatic lighting, choose a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western faces of the peaks. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of Yellowstone's colorful thermal basins. In winter, the contrast between the white snow and the dark timber of the Gallatin Range is exceptionally sharp.

Paradise Valley
