Bear Lake
Known as the Caribbean of the Rockies for its intense turquoise blue color on the Idaho-Utah border.
Wasatch Range
Continuous views of high-altitude peaks stretching from the Idaho border down through central Utah.
Salt Lake Valley
Aerial perspective of the sprawling Salt Lake City metropolitan area nestled against the mountains.
Red Rock Country
Distal views of the stunning red sandstone formations near Bryce Canyon and the Grand Staircase.
Hoover Dam
A classic view of the massive concrete arch-gravity dam on the final descent into the Las Vegas basin.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy perfectly illuminated mountain faces. This side is most likely to see the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead during the standard 'Visual Runway 26L' approach. Look for the contrast between the deep blue of the Colorado River and the harsh desert terrain.

The massive, shimmering expanse of the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere.
Bingham Canyon Mine
One of the world's largest man-made excavations, visible as a giant tiered crater in the Oquirrh Mountains.
Great Basin Desert
Vast stretches of basin-and-range topography across western Utah and eastern Nevada.
Valley of Fire
Bright red Aztec sandstone outcrops that appear to glow, located just northeast of the city.
Las Vegas Strip
During specific landing patterns, the right side provides a panoramic view of the mega-resorts and the Stratosphere.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights to witness the desert sky turn vibrant colors. During descent, if the wind is from the west, the plane may circle the city, offering a spectacular view of the entire Las Vegas Strip. Keep an eye out for the distinct white salt crusts along the edges of the Great Salt Lake early in the flight.
