LAS → BZN
Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Gallatin Field (Bozeman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for iconic National Parks including Zion, the Grand Tetons, and Yellowstone, offering a diverse array of dramatic mountain ranges and lake views.
Lake Mead & Hoover Dam
The massive reservoir and the engineering marvel of the dam are often visible just minutes after departure.
Valley of Fire
Bright red Aztec sandstone formations that appear to glow in the desert sun.
Zion National Park
Stunning aerial views of the deep canyons and towering plateaus of southwestern Utah.
Wasatch Mountains
The rugged spine of the Rockies stretching north from Salt Lake City with snow-capped peaks most of the year.
Grand Teton National Park
On a clear day, the distinct, sharp granite spires of the Teton Range are visible to the east.
Yellowstone National Park
Vast forested landscapes, Yellowstone Lake, and occasionally visible geothermal steam plumes.
The right side is the 'National Park' side. Book a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the Tetons and Yellowstone. Morning flights are best to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountain faces of the Wasatch and Teton ranges. Watch for the brilliant turquoise color of Bear Lake near the Idaho border.
Las Vegas Strip
View the iconic casino skyline and the massive sphere of the Sphere shortly after takeoff from LAS.
Red Rock Canyon
Deep red sandstone peaks and cliffs visible to the west as the plane gains altitude.
The Great Salt Lake
The massive expanse of the salt-heavy lake, often showing distinct color variations between sections.
Antelope Island
The largest island in the Great Salt Lake, known for its rugged terrain and free-roaming bison.
Madison Range
Jagged peaks of the Montana wilderness as the aircraft begins its final descent into Bozeman.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Great Basin. If the wind is coming from the north, you might get a close-up view of the Las Vegas Strip immediately upon takeoff. It is also the better side for viewing the salt flats near Salt Lake City.
