Our Recommendation
9.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to the iconic red rock formations of Utah's 'Mighty 5' national parks and the snowy peaks of the northern Rockies.

Right Side Highlights
9.4
πŸ”οΈ

Rocky Mountain National Park

Immediately after takeoff, witness the snow-capped summits of Longs Peak and the Continental Divide.

πŸŒ‰

Arches National Park

Look for the distinct red fins and arches near Moab as the flight crosses into Utah.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Canyonlands National Park

A dizzying array of canyons carved by the Green and Colorado Rivers, visible as a vast cracked landscape.

⛰️

Capitol Reef

The Waterpocket Fold, a 100-mile long 'wrinkle' in the Earth's crust, is clearly visible from cruising altitude.

🌡

Bryce Canyon National Park

The vibrant orange hoodoos of the Paunsaugunt Plateau are a highlight during the descent phase.

The right side is the premier choice for 'The Mighty 5' enthusiasts. For afternoon flights, the sun will illuminate the red rocks from the west, making the colors pop. Watch for the transition from the green forests of the Rockies to the stark, colorful desert of the Colorado Plateau.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
πŸ”οΈ

Pikes Peak

Visible shortly after departure, this famous 14,115-foot peak anchors the southern Front Range.

πŸ•³οΈ

Black Canyon of the Gunnison

The deep, narrow, and dark shadows of this dramatic canyon are visible in western Colorado.

🌊

Lake Powell

The vibrant blue waters of the reservoir contrast sharply against the surrounding orange sandstone.

🏜️

Monument Valley

On clear days, the distant but distinct silhouettes of the famous Navajo Nation buttes can be seen to the south.

πŸ§—

Zion National Park

As you descend into St. George, the massive white and red Navajo Sandstone cliffs of Zion appear to the south.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is superior for viewing the massive expanse of the San Juan Mountains and the intricate fingers of Lake Powell. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinct 'U' shape of glacial valleys in the Colorado high country.
