Coors Field

The Right Side is the clear winner for scenery. Book an afternoon flight to see the Rockies illuminated by the setting sun to the west. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for Longs Peak—the most prominent 14,000-foot peak visible from this route. Avoid rows directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the terrain.
