Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a continuous and breathtaking panorama of the Front Range and the Rocky Mountains, contrasting sharply with the high plains to the east.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Longs Peak

View the iconic 14,259-foot summit and the rugged vertical faces of Rocky Mountain National Park shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Horsetooth Reservoir

A striking blue ribbon of water nestled in the foothills just west of Fort Collins, Colorado.

❄️

Medicine Bow Mountains

Snow-capped peaks and high alpine tundra visible as the flight crosses into southern Wyoming.

⛰️

Laramie Range

Dramatic granite rock formations and ridges that mark the northern extent of the Front Range geological province.

🌲

Roosevelt National Forest

Dense evergreen forests covering the rolling mountain terrain between Denver and the Wyoming border.

For the best experience, sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the mountains isn't blocked. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Rockies. In winter, the snow-covered peaks are particularly stunning against the blue sky.

Right Side Highlights
4.5
🌾

Pawnee National Grassland

Vast expanses of shortgrass prairie featuring the distant and unique twin geological formations known as the Pawnee Buttes.

🏙️

Cheyenne, Wyoming

Look down to see the state capitol building and the massive rail yards of this historic Western transportation hub.

🚜

Agricultural Patterns

Distinctive circular green and gold patterns created by center-pivot irrigation systems across the high plains.

🛣️

I-25 Corridor

The main transit artery of the region, visible as a thin line connecting the string of cities along the mountains.

The right side is best for early morning travelers who want to see the sunrise over the Great Plains. It offers a much flatter perspective but is excellent for seeing the layout of the high-altitude prairie and the urban footprint of Cheyenne.
