San Juan Mountains
The rugged, often snow-capped peaks of southwestern Colorado visible in the distance.
Monument Valley
Iconic red sandstone buttes and mesas frequently visible on the northern horizon.
Grand Canyon
Unparalleled views of the massive canyon system and the winding Colorado River.
Mojave Desert
Starkly beautiful desert landscapes and dry lake beds as you cross into California.
DTLA & Hollywood
On the standard LAX approach, enjoy views of the downtown skyline and the Hollywood Sign.
This is the premier side for geography lovers. The Grand Canyon usually appears roughly 2.5 hours after departure. For the best photos of Los Angeles landmarks during the descent, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Hollywood Sign and the Griffith Observatory as the plane aligns for its final approach.

High Plains
Geometric patterns of Kansas farm circles and the rolling terrain of the Oklahoma Panhandle.
Sangre de Cristo Range
The southern-most subrange of the Rocky Mountains rising sharply in New Mexico.
Sonoran Desert
Vast stretches of arid landscape featuring unique geological formations near the AZ-CA border.
Salton Sea
A massive, shimmering endorheic rift lake visible in the Coachella Valley.
San Jacinto Peak
The towering 10,834-foot mountain that guards the entrance to the Los Angeles basin.
The left side is excellent for seeing the desert bloom in spring and the deep blue of the Salton Sea. On early morning flights, this side will be in direct sunlight, so keep your window shade down initially to avoid glare. Watch for the transformation from flat plains to rugged mountains about an hour into the flight.
