Rocky Mountain Front Range
Stunning vistas of the mountain peaks, including the 14,115-foot Pikes Peak visible to the southwest during the climb.
Arkansas River Basin
The flight often parallels this historic waterway, which served as a landmark for travelers on the Santa Fe Trail.
John Martin Reservoir
A large, bright blue body of water that stands out sharply against the tan and green prairie landscape.
Dodge City Approach
Views of the historic 'Queen of the Cowtowns' and its massive modern cattle feedlots as you descend into DDC.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun begins to set behind the Rockies. Look for the distinct 'Checkerboard' pattern of the plains which indicates the transition from Colorado into Kansas. In winter, the snow-dusted river beds are particularly photogenic.
