DEN β YQR
Which side of the plane to sit from Denver International Airport (Denver) to Regina International Airport (Regina)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the transition from the high peaks of the Colorado Rockies to the rugged Bighorn Mountains and the striking badlands of the Missouri River Breaks.
Front Range Peaks
Panoramic views of the snow-capped Colorado Rockies stretching northward immediately after departure from Denver.
Bighorn Mountains
The dramatic uplift of the Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming provides a rugged contrast to the surrounding high plains.
Fort Peck Lake
The massive, intricate shoreline of this Missouri River reservoir creates a stunning blue oasis in the Montana landscape.
Missouri River Breaks
Unique geological badland formations and coulees carved by the Missouri River in northern Montana.
Cypress Hills
An elevated plateau of lush forest and hills that straddles the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, rising above the prairie.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct eastern sun and get the best shadows over the mountain ranges. Keep an eye out about 45 minutes into the flight for the Bighorn range in Wyoming, which is the topographic highlight of the journey.
Pawnee National Grassland
Geometric patterns of the high plains ecosystem just north of the Colorado-Wyoming border.
Black Hills Silhouette
On clear days, the distant dark profile of the Black Hills and South Dakota can be seen to the far east.
Yellowstone River
The winding path of the Yellowstone River as it cuts through the plains of eastern Montana.
Regina Cityscape
A clear view of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building and Wascana Centre during the final approach into YQR.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the textures of the plains. As you approach Regina, this side often provides a better view of the city's unique 'oasis' layoutβa lush urban forest surrounded by vast, flat agricultural grids.
