Palo Duro Canyon
Known as the 'Grand Canyon of Texas,' featuring dramatic red rock cliffs and steep mesas.
Sangre de Cristo Mountains
The southern-most subrange of the Rocky Mountains, often snow-capped in winter months.
Painted Desert
A kaleidoscope of colors across the badlands of Northern Arizona, visible for miles.
The Grand Canyon
The absolute highlight of the route; the right side offers a direct look into the South Rim's depth.
Lake Mead
The deep blue waters of America's largest reservoir contrasting against the Mojave Desert.
Valley of Fire
Bright red sandstone formations that appear to glow when the sun hits them at certain angles.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. For the best experience, book a morning flight so the sun illuminates the Grand Canyon walls from the east. The canyon usually appears about 30 to 45 minutes before landing. Avoid sitting directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the terrain.

DFW Metroplex
Bird's eye view of the sprawling Dallas and Fort Worth urban landscape immediately after takeoff.
Chihuahuan Desert
Vast stretches of the West Texas desert and the unique geological ripples of the Llano Estacado.
Meteor Crater
A remarkably well-preserved impact site visible as a giant bowl in the Arizona desert floor.
Hoover Dam
The massive concrete arch-gravity dam holding back the waters of the Colorado River.
Las Vegas Strip
If landing to the west, the left side provides a stunning view of the casino skyline and the High Roller.
Choose the left side for sunset views on afternoon flights, as the sun will be positioned to the south. This side is also your best bet for seeing the Las Vegas Strip during the final approach if the airport is landing westward (Runways 26L/R), which is common.
