Front Range Peaks
Immediately after takeoff, witness the snow-capped summits of the Colorado Rockies, including the prominent Longs Peak.
Bighorn Mountains
Fly parallel to the dramatic limestone cliffs and alpine peaks of north-central Wyoming.
Cypress Hills
Spot the highest point in Saskatchewan, a unique forested plateau that rose above the last ice sheet.
South Saskatchewan River
Observe the winding blue artery of the prairies as you approach the descent into Saskatoon.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the mountain ranges to the west. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of Wyoming provide exceptional contrast against the plains.
