Which side of the plane to sit from Jackson Hole Airport (Jacksn Hole) to Denver International Airport (Denver)?

The right side offers unparalleled views of the iconic Teton Range immediately upon departure, followed by the massive glaciers of the Wind River Range and a stunning panorama of the Colorado Front Range during descent.
Search flights from JAC to DEN
Grand Teton
Witness the dramatic 13,775-foot peak and the surrounding jagged summits of the Teton Range shortly after departure.
Wind River Range
Fly past Wyoming's highest peaks, including Gannett Peak, featuring some of the largest glaciers in the American Rockies.
Rocky Mountain National Park
As the plane enters Colorado, look for the massive granite face of Longs Peak and the alpine tundra of the high country.
The Front Range
A continuous wall of mountains where the high plains meet the Rockies, visible throughout the entire descent into Denver.
The right side is the clear winner for mountain enthusiasts. Request a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Tetons during the initial climb. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting on the faces of the Colorado Rockies, though morning flights provide a crisp view of the Teton shadows over the valley floor.

Gros Ventre Range
Visible immediately after takeoff, these rugged mountains provide a scenic backdrop to the Jackson Hole valley.
Wyoming High Desert
View the vast, colorful expanse of the Red Desert and the winding North Platte River near Casper.
Denver Skyline
On final approach, look for the skyscrapers of downtown Denver and the distinctive white peaks of the DIA terminal.
Sit on the left for softer morning light if flying early, avoiding direct sun glare. During the final approach into DEN from the north, this side often provides the best angle to see the sprawl of the Mile High City and the unique architecture of the airport itself.
