Navajo Reservoir
The striking contrast of deep blue water against the arid red rock landscape shortly after takeoff.
Wolf Creek Pass
The snowy crest of the Continental Divide where the San Juan Mountains are at their most formidable.
San Luis Valley
The massive, flat high-altitude basin that separates the San Juan and Sangre de Cristo ranges.
Great Sand Dunes
The surreal sight of North America's tallest sand dunes nestled at the base of 14,000-foot mountain peaks.
Pikes Peak
The isolated 'America's Mountain' standing as a sentinel over Colorado Springs as you approach Denver.
The right side is superior for landmark spotting, particularly the Great Sand Dunes which appear mid-flight. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the vastness of the San Luis Valley without engine obstruction.
