Mount Hood
Visible to the northeast shortly after takeoff, this is Oregon's highest peak.
Willamette Valley
Aerial views of the patchwork vineyards and fertile farmlands of Oregon's wine country.
Mount St. Helens
A stunning view of the horseshoe-shaped crater left by the 1980 eruption.
Mount Adams
The massive, glaciated sister peak to St. Helens located further east.
Mount Rainier
The star of the show; this 14,411-foot giant dominates the window view for the second half of the flight.
The right side is essential for volcano enthusiasts. To get the best photos of Mt. Rainier, sit in front of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. Morning flights provide the best lighting on the west-facing slopes of the Cascades. Keep your camera ready from the moment you reach cruising altitude as the peaks appear in rapid succession.
