FCA → DEN
Which side of the plane to sit from Glacier Park International Airport (Kalispell) to Denver International Airport (Denver)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a continuous spectacle of the American West's most iconic mountain ranges, including the Grand Tetons and the Colorado Front Range.
Whitefish Range
Forested ridges and valleys located just west of Glacier National Park as you gain altitude.
Yellowstone Plateau
Look for the massive volcanic caldera and the unique terrain of the world's first national park.
The Grand Tetons
On clear days, the sharp, jagged granite spires of the Teton Range are clearly visible in the distance.
Wind River Range
A high-altitude wilderness featuring some of the highest peaks and largest glaciers in the American Rockies.
Rocky Mountain National Park
As you descend into Denver, catch a view of Longs Peak and the snow-capped summits of the Front Range.
This is the 'mountain side.' For the best views of the Colorado Front Range during descent, sit here. Evening flights provide spectacular sunset colors over the Wyoming and Colorado peaks. Keep your camera ready mid-flight for the Tetons.
Flathead Lake
The largest natural freshwater lake in the western US, visible immediately after takeoff from Kalispell.
Mission Mountains
Dramatic, glacier-carved peaks that rise sharply from the valley floor on the eastern side of the flight path.
Helena
View the state capital of Montana and the surrounding Prickly Pear Valley as you head southeast.
Great Plains Interface
The striking geographic boundary where the Rocky Mountains give way to the vast, rolling eastern plains.
Denver Terminal
Upon arrival, enjoy a view of the famous white-tented roof of the Jeppesen Terminal at DEN.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid glare. The left side is ideal for seeing the transition between the high mountains and the open ranch land of Montana and Wyoming.
