Pikes Peak
Iconic views of the 14,115-foot summit south of Denver during the departure sequence.
Ozark National Forest
Dense, rolling green hills and deep valleys of southern Missouri and northern Arkansas.
Mississippi River
A dramatic crossing of the 'Mighty Mississippi,' often visible near the Missouri bootheel region.
Tennessee River
Stunning aerial views of Wheeler Lake and the wide river bends just minutes before landing.
Redstone Arsenal
Views of the sprawling NASA and Army facilities, including test stands, on the final approach to HSV.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Tennessee River valley. This side provides the most direct view of the Huntsville aerospace infrastructure during descent. If departing DEN to the south, look for the Spanish Peaks in southern Colorado.

Denver Skyline
Clear views of the Mile High City and the northern suburbs during the initial climb out of DEN.
Kansas Plains
A vast geometric tapestry of circular irrigation plots stretching across the heart of the Midwest.
Missouri River
The winding silver ribbon of the Missouri River as the flight path crosses the state line.
Land Between the Lakes
Distant views of the massive reservoirs and recreation areas in western Kentucky and Tennessee.
Sit on the left for softer morning light when traveling east to avoid direct sun glare. It is also the better side for spotting the St. Louis Arch in the distance if the flight takes a more northerly corridor. Keep your camera ready during the first 15 minutes for the Colorado high plains transition.
