Longs Peak
The highest point in Rocky Mountain National Park, standing at 14,259 feet shortly after departure.
Medicine Bow Mountains
View the striking white quartzite peaks of the Snowy Range as you cross into Wyoming.
Wind River Range
A massive granite wilderness containing 19 of Wyoming's 20 highest peaks and dozens of glaciers.
The Grand Teton
On the final descent, the left side typically faces the jagged vertical rise of the Teton Range for an unforgettable view.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing on the left (Port) side. Morning flights are ideal as the rising sun illuminates the east faces of the Teton Range. During the 'Wind River' approach, the plane often banks, providing a steep, dramatic view of the glacial lakes below.

A distinct geological feature marking the northern end of the Laramie Mountain Range.
Gros Ventre Wilderness
Rugged, forested mountains that border the eastern edge of the Jackson Hole valley.
Snake River

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a better perspective of the vast Wyoming high desert transitioning into the Gros Ventre mountains. Keep an eye out for the National Elk Refuge just before touchdown.
