Search flights from DEN to CYS
Longs Peak
The highest point in Rocky Mountain National Park, easily identifiable by its flat-topped summit.
The Flatirons
Striking slanted rock formations near Boulder that mark the transition from plains to mountains.
Rocky Mountain National Park
Vast wilderness areas with snow-capped peaks and deep alpine valleys visible shortly after takeoff.
Horsetooth Reservoir
A long, narrow reservoir located just west of Fort Collins, nestled against the foothills.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sunlight illuminating the mountain peaks. Since the flight is extremely short (often under 30 minutes), maintain window visibility immediately upon takeoff. Winter flights offer the best views of snow-covered terrain.

DIA Architecture
The iconic white fabric tents of the Jeppesen Terminal are visible immediately after departure.
The Great Plains
Expansive views of the rolling grasslands and agricultural patchworks extending toward the horizon.
Barr Lake State Park
A large reservoir known for bird watching, visible just north of the Denver metro area.
The right side is ideal for seeing the vastness of the High Plains. Late afternoon flights provide great 'Golden Hour' lighting over the agricultural fields. Keep an eye out for the 'checkerboard' patterns of the eastern Colorado landscape.
