LASFCA

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular journey over the American West's most famous national parks, from the red rocks of Utah to the massive expanse of Flathead Lake just before touchdown.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
💧

Lake Mead & Hoover Dam

The massive reservoir and engineering marvel are often visible shortly after departure from LAS depending on the runway.

🏜️

Zion & Bryce Canyon

Aerial perspectives of the deep canyons and unique 'hoodoo' rock formations of Southern Utah's high plateau.

🏔️

Grand Teton National Park

On clear days, the iconic jagged peaks of the Tetons in Wyoming are visible on the distant eastern horizon.

🌊

Flathead Lake

A highlight of the flight; this massive, crystal-clear lake is the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi.

🏔️

Glacier National Park

As you descend into Kalispell, the snow-capped peaks of 'The Crown of the Continent' dominate the northeast horizon.

The right side is the clear winner for landmark spotting. For the best views of Utah's red rocks, fly during the morning when the sun illuminates the canyon walls. Ensure you are awake for the final 20 minutes of the flight; the view of Flathead Lake during the descent into FCA is one of the most scenic approaches in the United States.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🏜️

Red Rock Canyon

Dramatic red sandstone peaks and seasonal waterfalls visible immediately after departing the Las Vegas valley.

🧂

Great Salt Lake

The largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere, showcasing distinct color variations and salt crusts.

🌲

Sawtooth Mountains

The rugged and jagged peaks of central Idaho, offering some of the most remote wilderness views in the country.

🏔️

Mission Mountains

A steep and dramatic mountain range in Montana that signals your final descent into the Kalispell area.

The left side is ideal for sunset flights, providing a front-row seat to the sun dipping below the Idaho wilderness. Watch for the shimmering surface of the Great Salt Lake about 60-70 minutes into the flight. If the plane approaches FCA from the north, you may also catch a glimpse of the Whitefish Mountain Resort.
