Sam Houston National Forest
A dense canopy of pine and hardwood trees stretching across the East Texas landscape.
Lake Conroe
A popular recreational lake with luxury waterfront homes visible shortly after departing Houston.
Huntsville Area
The site of Sam Houston State University and the historic Sam Houston Statue alongside I-45.
Stillhouse Hollow Lake
A beautiful deep-water reservoir located just southeast of the Killeen-Harker Heights area.
Fort Cavazos Ranges
Witness the sprawling military training areas and motor pools of one of the world's largest army bases.
The right side is superior for this short hop to capture the descent over the military base. Book a window seat in the late afternoon for dramatic shadows over the Fort Cavazos training ranges, but be aware of the direct western sun glare during the middle of the flight.
