Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ”οΈ

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.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🚜

Pawnee National Grassland

Geometric patterns of the high plains ecosystem just north of the Colorado-Wyoming border.

πŸ”οΈ

Black Hills Silhouette

On clear days, the distant dark profile of the Black Hills and South Dakota can be seen to the far east.

πŸ’§

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' layoutβ€”a lush urban forest surrounded by vast, flat agricultural grids.
