Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides front-row seats to the Hoover Dam and the most dramatic sections of the Grand Canyon shortly after takeoff.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏗️

Hoover Dam

An incredible top-down view of the dam and the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge.

🕳️

Grand Canyon

Expansive views of the North and South Rims as the plane traverses northern Arizona.

💎

Lake Powell

Bright blue water winding through the red rock canyons of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

🏔️

Pikes Peak

The famous America's Mountain standing tall among the Southern Rocky Mountains.

🚜

Great Plains

Geometric patterns of center-pivot irrigation fields creating a giant green and brown quilt.

🏞️

Blue Ridge

The scenic, hazy mountains of the Appalachian range during the descent into the Chesapeake region.

The first 45 minutes are crucial on the right side; stay alert immediately after takeoff from LAS for the best views of Lake Mead and the Grand Canyon. Winter flights offer spectacular views of the snow-dusted Rockies.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏜️

Valley of Fire

Stunning red sandstone formations visible shortly after leaving Nevada airspace.

⛰️

Zion National Park

Aerial perspective of the massive Navajo Sandstone cliffs and deep canyons.

❄️

Central Rockies

Glaciated peaks and high-altitude terrain of the Colorado mountains.

🏙️

Midwestern Cities

Clear views of grid-patterned cities like Indianapolis or Columbus depending on the jet stream.

⛰️

Appalachian Ridges

The distinctive folded mountain patterns of Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind the plane, providing better lighting for photos of the Utah desert and Rocky Mountains.
