Search flights from DEN to YEG
Rocky Mountain National Park
Spectacular views of Longs Peak and the Continental Divide shortly after departing Denver.
Wind River Range
The rugged, glacier-carved peaks of western Wyoming, including Gannett Peak.
Glacier National Park
Dramatic vistas of the 'Crown of the Continent' near the Montana-Alberta border.
Waterton Lakes
The striking transition where the mountains rise abruptly from the Alberta prairies.
Calgary Skyline
A clear view of Calgary's downtown towers with the mountains providing a backdrop on the descent.
Book an 'A' window seat for the best mountain views. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, perfectly illuminating the peaks. During winter, the snow-covered range is particularly breathtaking. Look out roughly 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic Colorado terrain.

Wyoming High Plains
Expansive, desolate landscapes and unique geological formations of the Great Plains.
North Platte River
The winding blue ribbon of the river carving through the arid Wyoming basin.
Alberta Prairies
A vast patchwork of yellow canola and golden wheat fields as you approach Edmonton.
North Saskatchewan River
The deep, forested river valley that defines the landscape of the city of Edmonton.
Choose the right side for sunrise views on early morning departures. This side offers better views of the 'Big Sky' horizon and the intricate irrigation patterns of the Canadian prairies. It is generally quieter for photography as you are facing away from the direct glare of the afternoon sun.
