Search flights from DEN to EUG
Rocky Mountain National Park
Bird's-eye view of Longs Peak and the tundra-covered summits north of Denver.
Great Salt Lake
The expansive salt flats and shimmering water of Utah's massive inland sea.
Mount Hood
Oregon's tallest peak is frequently visible on the northern horizon during the final third of the flight.
Mount Jefferson
A stunning view of Oregon's second highest peak, often very close to the flight path.
Boise & Treasure Valley
Views of the Idaho capital and the winding Snake River Plain in the distance.
The right side is the 'volcano side' for this route. Sit here to see Mt. Hood and Mt. Jefferson in quick succession. If flying in winter, the contrast between the white peaks and the blue Great Salt Lake is a major highlight. For the best photography, avoid seats directly over the wing which can block the steep volcanic slopes.

The Front Range
Dramatic views of the Colorado Rockies including Mt. Blue Sky and the continental divide shortly after takeoff.
High Uintas Wilderness
The massive east-west mountain range in Northern Utah featuring stark alpine basins.
Three Sisters
Close proximity to the iconic trio of volcanic peaks in Central Oregon during the descent.
Willamette National Forest
Deep green timberlands and rugged canyons as the plane enters the Eugene approach corridor.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. It provides the best angle for the Three Sisters and Mount Bachelor as you cross into the Willamette Valley. Watch for the transition from the high desert of Central Oregon to the lush greenery of the west side.
