Which side of the plane to sit from Denver International Airport (Denver) to Pueblo Memorial Airport (Pueblo)?

The right side offers a spectacular, unobstructed view of the Rocky Mountains' Front Range, featuring iconic landmarks like Pikes Peak and the Air Force Academy throughout the short duration of the flight.
Search flights from DEN to PUB
Castle Rock
The famous namesake mesa formation standing prominently above the surrounding valley.
US Air Force Academy
The stunning modernist architecture of the Cadet Chapel set against the mountain foothills.
Pikes Peak
The towering 14,115-foot 'America's Mountain' which dominates the southern horizon.
Garden of the Gods
Brilliant red sandstone rock formations visible at the base of the mountains in Colorado Springs.
Front Range
A continuous wall of jagged, snow-capped peaks lining the western edge of the flight path.
For the best photography, book an afternoon flight when the sun is behind you, perfectly illuminating the mountain faces. During winter, the snow-covered peaks provide much higher contrast. Sit slightly behind the wing or in front of it to avoid engine heat blur when photographing Pikes Peak.

Cherry Creek Reservoir
A large blue oasis surrounded by parkland just south of Denver.
Buckley Space Force Base
A clear view of the military airfield and surrounding aerospace infrastructure.
Colorado High Plains
The vast, golden expanse of the Great Plains stretching eastward toward Kansas.
Suburban Sprawl
The rapid residential expansion of Parker, Elizabeth, and Falcon along the prairie.
Choose this side for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the eastern horizon. It offers a quieter, more meditative view of the transition from urban density to the vast emptiness of the American West. Keep an eye out for the distinct grid patterns of the high desert farmland.
