DIK → DEN
Which side of the plane to sit from Dickinson Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport (Dickinson) to Denver International Airport (Denver)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for the dramatic approach into Denver, offering unparalleled views of the Rocky Mountain Front Range and Longs Peak as the aircraft descends from the north.
Black Hills Vistas
Distant views of the dark, forested mountains and granite peaks of western South Dakota and Wyoming.
The Front Range
The spectacular first view of the Rocky Mountains rising abruptly from the flat plains as you enter Colorado airspace.
Longs Peak
A prominent view of the distinctive 14,259-foot peak and its surrounding wilderness in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Western Horizon
Stunning golden hour lighting and silhouettes over the rugged western terrain during late afternoon or evening flights.
The right side is essential for mountain enthusiasts. Sit here for the best views of the Rockies during descent, which are especially breathtaking in the late afternoon when the setting sun highlights the jagged peaks and creates deep shadows in the valleys.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park
Initial views of the rugged South Unit's eroded canyons and colorful strata just south of Dickinson.
Great Plains Tapestry
Expansive bird's-eye views of the American heartland featuring vast geometric patterns and circular pivot irrigation.
Denver Urban Core
The expanding skyline of Denver's downtown skyscrapers and Mile High Stadium visible during the descent.
Jeppesen Terminal
A great angle of the iconic white peak-roofed terminal of Denver International Airport during the final taxi.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the vast eastern plains. This side also provides an excellent view of the airport terminal's unique architecture during the final approach and taxi to the gate.
