LARDEN

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic transition from the high plains to the towering peaks of the Colorado Front Range and Rocky Mountain National Park.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Medicine Bow Mountains

Stunning views of the Snowy Range just west of Laramie shortly after takeoff.

🌲

Rocky Mountain National Park

Iconic peaks including the massive Longs Peak, which stands at over 14,000 feet.

💧

Horsetooth Reservoir

The distinct blue strip of water nestled against the foothills near Fort Collins.

📐

The Flatirons

The unique, slanted rock formations outside of Boulder visible during the mid-flight descent.

🏙️

Denver Skyline

A clear view of the Mile High City skyscrapers with the mountains as a dramatic backdrop.

The right side is essential for mountain lovers. For the best lighting on the peaks, choose a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Rockies. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the 14,259-foot Longs Peak is not obstructed by the engine.

Left Side Highlights
5.8
🌾

High Plains Vista

Expansive views of the golden Wyoming and Colorado prairie lands stretching toward the horizon.

🌬️

Northern CO Wind Farms

Massive clusters of wind turbines harvesting energy near the state border.

🏠

Greeley and Suburban Growth

Aerial view of the grid-like expansion and agricultural centers of Northern Colorado.

⛺

DEN Peaked Roof

The iconic white fabric peaks of the Jeppesen Terminal as the aircraft descends for landing.

Sit on the left if you enjoy the geometric patterns of center-pivot irrigation and the massive wind farms. During a North-to-South landing approach, you might get a great look at the unique DIA terminal architecture. Morning flights offer the best lighting on the plains without the glare of the sun.
