Denver Skyline
A clear perspective of downtown Denver and the Mile High Stadium shortly after departing DIA toward the east.
Pikes Peak
The most famous '14er' in Colorado stands out clearly to the southwest during the initial climb out of Denver.
Lake of the Ozarks
The recognizable serpentine shoreline of Missouri's most famous lake is often visible from cruising altitude.
The Ozark Plateau
The transition from flat plains to the rolling, forested hills of southern Missouri provides a scenic change in terrain.
Gateway Arch
On many approaches to STL, the right side provides a direct view of the Arch and the downtown St. Louis riverfront.
Book a window seat on the right for the best chance to see the Gateway Arch during the approach into STL. For morning flights, be aware the sun will be on this side, making it very bright; afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the Missouri landscape.

Distant views of the northern Colorado Rockies, including the prominent Longs Peak, shortly after takeoff.
Limon Wind Farms
Massive arrays of wind turbines dotting the high plains of eastern Colorado near the town of Limon.
The Great Grid
The geometric precision of Midwestern agriculture, featuring vast circles of center-pivot irrigation through Kansas.
Missouri River Bends
Deeply winding sections of the Missouri River visible as the flight transitions from Kansas into Missouri.
St. Charles Suburbs
Detailed views of the historic St. Charles area and the Missouri-Mississippi river confluence area during final descent.
Sit on the left for softer, indirect light during midday flights to avoid glare. This side is also better for spotting the expansive agriculture of northern Missouri. In winter, look for the stark contrast of snow-filled irrigation circles in Kansas.
