Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Rocky Mountain Front Range and the Bighorn Mountains throughout the short flight north.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Longs Peak

The prominent 14,259-foot summit is visible shortly after takeoff from Denver as you head north.

🌲

Rocky Mountain National Park

Aerial views of the high alpine tundra and jagged peaks along the Continental Divide.

⛰️

Laramie Mountains

A rugged northern extension of the Front Range that marks the transition into central Wyoming.

🏔️

Bighorn Mountains

Dramatic, snow-capped peaks that dominate the horizon to the west during the descent into Sheridan.

Book a window seat on the left (Side A/B on most regional jets) for the best mountain views. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photography of the mountain silhouettes, though morning flights offer the clearest air and crispest details of the rock faces.

Right Side Highlights
4.5
🌾

The High Plains

Expansive, rolling grasslands that define the eastern half of Wyoming and Colorado.

💧

Glendo Reservoir

A large, shimmering blue water body located on the North Platte River near Wheatland.

🏙️

Casper, Wyoming

Aerial views of Wyoming's second-largest city and its industrial outskirts along the river valley.

🛤️

Coal Train Corridors

Frequent sightings of massive freight trains moving through the Powder River Basin region.

The right side is ideal for spotting the vastness of the American West and seeing the winding North Platte River. It is generally cooler and less bright during afternoon flights as the sun is on the opposite side of the aircraft.
