Which side of the plane to sit from Denver International Airport (Denver) to Idaho Falls Regional Airport (Idaho Falls)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic mountain scenery in North America, including the jagged Wind River Range and a spectacular perspective of the Grand Tetons.
Longs Peak
The prominent 14,259-foot summit of Rocky Mountain National Park is visible early in the flight.
Wind River Range
A breathtaking look at Wyoming's highest peaks and massive glaciers in one of the lower 48's most remote wildernesses.
Boysen Reservoir
A striking blue contrast against the surrounding desert badlands of the Wind River Basin.
The Grand Tetons
The iconic jagged spires of Grand Teton National Park are usually visible to the north just before landing.
Snake River Plain
The transition into the fertile volcanic soil and geometric patchwork of Idaho's agriculture.
The right side is non-negotiable for mountain lovers. Choose an early morning flight to see the Tetons and Wind Rivers bathed in golden light. During winter, the snow-capped Wind River Range is particularly majestic from this side.
Denver Skyline
Immediate views of downtown Denver and Mile High Stadium during the initial climb.
Front Range Vistas
Expansive views of the Colorado Rockies, including the massive peaks of the Continental Divide.
Medicine Bow Forest
Dense alpine forests and rugged granite outcrops as the plane crosses into Wyoming.
Wyoming Red Desert
The unique, arid landscape of the high-altitude desert plateau in south-central Wyoming.
Snake River
The winding river appears as a silver thread as the plane begins its descent into Idaho.
Sit on the left for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while still enjoying the silhouettes of the Rockies. Watch for the Snowy Range mountains shortly after takeoff.
