Front Range 14ers
Stunning views of Mount Blue Sky (Evans) and the Grays and Torreys Peaks shortly after departure.
Colorado Ski Country
Identify the high-altitude runs of Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, and Keystone from 30,000 feet.
Sawatch Range
Home to Mount Elbert, the highest point in the entire Rocky Mountain chain at 14,440 feet.
San Juan Mountains
Extremely rugged and colorful volcanic peaks that are often considered the most beautiful in Colorado.
Navajo Lake
A deep turquoise reservoir near the New Mexico border that signals the start of the descent into Farmington.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers. Try to secure a seat well ahead of the wing to see the steep valleys and hidden alpine lakes. In winter and spring, these peaks are covered in deep snow, making for incredible photography. Be prepared for some light turbulence as the plane crosses the Continental Divide.

Denver Metro Area
Aerial views of the Denver skyline and Mile High Stadium immediately following takeoff.
Pikes Peak
The massive, isolated granite peak that dominates the skyline south of Colorado Springs.
San Luis Valley
A vast, high-altitude basin that provides a stark contrast to the surrounding mountain ranges.
Sangre de Cristo Range
A remarkably linear and jagged mountain chain that marks the eastern edge of the San Luis Valley.
Sit on the left if you want to see the expansive High Plains and the iconic silhouette of Pikes Peak. This side is typically better for morning lighting as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the mountains without creating heavy glare on the window.
