Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior front-row seat to the most iconic volcanic peaks in Central Oregon immediately after takeoff, followed by exceptional views of the high desert and the rugged Continental Divide.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Three Sisters & Mt. Bachelor

Dramatic, close-up views of these iconic volcanic peaks within the first 15 minutes of flight.

🏜️

High Desert Craters

Look for the Newberry Volcanic National Monument and distinct lava flows in Central Oregon.

🌊

Flaming Gorge

The brilliant red rock canyons and turquoise waters of the Green River are a major highlight over the Utah-Wyoming border.

🏔️

Rocky Mountain National Park

Stunning aerial views of the high alpine tundra and the snow-capped peaks of the Front Range.

🏙️

Denver Skyline

On many approaches, the right side offers a clear view of downtown Denver and the Mile High Stadium.

The right side is the definitive choice for volcano enthusiasts. To see the Three Sisters clearly, ensure you have a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. During winter months, the snow-covered Rockies provide incredible contrast during the late afternoon 'golden hour' before landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Mount Jefferson

Oregon's second highest peak is often visible to the North shortly after departure.

🌲

Blue Mountains

Dense evergreen forests of Northeast Oregon transition into the high desert landscape.

🐍

Snake River Plain

Observe the winding path of the Snake River as it cuts through the Idaho basalt flows.

⛰️

Wind River Range

In the distance, the jagged granite spires of Wyoming's highest mountains may be visible.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. It provides excellent views of the northern Cascades and the vast expanse of the northern Great Plains during the final descent into Denver.
