Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a spectacular panorama of the highest peaks in the Rocky Mountains, including the glaciated Wind River Range and the dramatic transition from plains to mountains in Montana.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Front Range Peaks

Immediately after departure, look for Longs Peak and the snow-capped summits of Rocky Mountain National Park.

🌲

Medicine Bow Mountains

Dense alpine forests and the striking white quartzite of Snowy Range Pass near the Wyoming-Colorado border.

🗻

Wind River Range

View Gannett Peak, the highest point in Wyoming, along with dozens of active glaciers and jagged granite spires.

🌋

Absaroka Wilderness

Rugged volcanic mountains forming the eastern boundary of the Yellowstone ecosystem as you enter Montana.

🏞️

The Rocky Mountain Front

The dramatic point where the Great Plains abruptly meet the rising limestone walls of the Continental Divide.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sun illuminating the mountain faces. During winter months, the snow-covered Wind River Range is particularly brilliant. Keep an eye out for the thermal features of the Yellowstone plateau in the distance if visibility is high.

Right Side Highlights
6.4
🌾

High Plains Mosaic

Intricate patterns of center-pivot irrigation and vast ranchlands stretching toward the horizon.

⛰️

Bighorn Mountains

A massive, isolated mountain uplift in northern Wyoming that stands prominently above the surrounding basins.

💧

Bighorn Canyon

Deep turquoise waters cutting through steep, colorful limestone cliffs near the Montana border.

🌊

Missouri River

The winding path of the Missouri River as it approaches the falls that give Great Falls its name.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the Rockies. Watch for the 'Badlands' style erosion in the basins between Wyoming mountain ranges, which display vibrant orange and red hues.
