Rocky Mountain Front Range
Immediately after takeoff, witness the dramatic rise of the Rockies, including the snow-capped Longs Peak.
Wyoming High Plains
Expansive views of the sagebrush steppe and the Laramie Mountains in the distance.
Black Hills National Forest
As you head north, the dark, pine-covered silhouettes of the Black Hills rise sharply above the prairie.
Little Missouri Badlands
Approaching Dickinson, look for the eroded, colorful clay layers and buttes characteristic of the ND landscape.
Book a window seat on the left (Port) side for the best mountain views during the initial climb out of Denver. On a clear day, the contrast between the flat plains to the east and the massive granite peaks to the west is breathtaking. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the mountains, while late afternoon flights provide long, dramatic shadows across the badlands as you approach Dickinson.

High Plains Agriculture
Intricate geometric patterns of center-pivot irrigation and wheat fields across Nebraska and Colorado.
Scotts Bluff & Chimney Rock
Depending on the specific airway, look for these famous landmarks of the Oregon Trail in western Nebraska.
North Platte River
A winding ribbon of blue and green cutting through the arid landscape of the western panhandle.
The right side is best for observing the vastness of the American heartland. If you are flying in the early morning, this side will be very bright with direct sunlight. It is the better side for viewing the subtle topography of the Great Plains and the massive wind farms that dot the landscape in the tri-state area.
