La Sal Mountains
Dramatic snow-capped peaks near Moab that contrast sharply with the surrounding red desert landscape.
Canyonlands National Park
Intricate mazes of deep canyons and mesas carved by the Colorado and Green Rivers.
Lake Powell
Vibrant blue water winding through the stark red sandstone of Glen Canyon.
Grand Canyon North Rim
The massive scale of the Kaibab Plateau and the canyon's edge visible during the southern portion of the flight.
Las Vegas Strip
A glittering view of the world-famous resort corridor during the descent into McCarran.
Book a window seat for a late afternoon flight to see the 'Golden Hour' illuminate the red rocks of Utah. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the best shots of the canyon systems. During winter, the contrast between snow and red rock is particularly stunning.

Colorado National Monument
Stunning red rock spires and sheer-walled canyons visible almost immediately after departing Grand Junction.
San Rafael Swell
A massive geological dome with jagged rock 'reefs' and unique erosion patterns in central Utah.
Zion National Park
Distant but recognizable white and red Navajo sandstone cliffs that mark the edge of the Markagunt Plateau.
Valley of Fire
Bright red sandstone formations located just northeast of the Las Vegas basin near the end of the flight.
Sit in front of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Colorado National Monument right after takeoff. Morning flights are ideal for this side, as the sun will be behind you, perfectly lighting the canyons and cliffs to the west.
