Search flights from FMN to ALS
San Juan Mountains
Stunning views of the highest and most rugged peaks in Colorado, including the Needle Mountains.
Weminuche Wilderness
The largest wilderness area in Colorado, featuring deep glacial valleys and dense pine forests.
Animas River Valley
A deep gorge carved by the Animas River as it flows south from the high mountains.
Great Sand Dunes
On approach to Alamosa, look north to see the massive dunes nestled against the Sangre de Cristo Range.
Book a window on the left for spectacular mountain photography. In winter and spring, the snow-covered peaks of the San Juans are exceptionally brilliant. Aim for a morning flight to avoid the frequent afternoon cumulonimbus clouds that can obscure the highest ridges.

Navajo Reservoir
A large, winding body of water on the San Juan River straddling the border of New Mexico and Colorado.
South San Juan Wilderness
Remote and less traveled peaks including the prominent Conejos Peak.
San Luis Valley
The expansive, flat high-altitude basin that creates a stark contrast to the surrounding mountain ranges.
Rio Grande River
Follow the silver thread of the Rio Grande as it begins its long journey south through the valley.
The right side is ideal for seeing the transition from the arid Four Corners landscape into the fertile San Luis Valley. Keep an eye out for the distinct geometric patterns of center-pivot irrigation circles as you descend into Alamosa, which are particularly vibrant green in mid-summer.
