Which side of the plane to sit from Laramie Regional Airport (Laramie) to Denver International Airport (Denver)?
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.
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.
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.
