LASFNT

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Utah red rock country, including Zion and Bryce Canyon, followed by a direct path over the highest peaks of the Colorado Rockies and a stunning crossing of Lake Michigan.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏜️

Valley of Fire

Just after takeoff, witness the brilliant red Aztec sandstone formations of Nevada's oldest state park.

🏔️

Zion & Bryce Canyon

Gaze down at the deep canyons and unique hoodoo formations of southern Utah's high plateaus.

🏔️

Central Rockies

Fly directly over the snow-capped 14,000-foot peaks of the Sawatch Range and the ski resorts of Colorado.

🌊

Lake Michigan

Enjoy a scenic crossing of the Great Lake as you transition from the Midwest plains to the Michigan peninsula.

🏙️

Grand Rapids

View the urban sprawl and river valley of Western Michigan's largest city during the descent.

Sit on the left (North side) to avoid the direct southern sun glare during the middle of the day. In winter, the snow-covered Rockies are particularly breathtaking. For evening flights, the sunset often illuminates the Utah desert in deep oranges and reds.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏗️

Hoover Dam

Look back shortly after departure to see this engineering marvel and the massive expanse of Lake Mead.

🌊

Lake Powell

Spot the winding blue waters of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area stretching into the desert.

🏔️

Pikes Peak

As you exit the mountains, look for the isolated prominence of one of America's most famous summits.

🌉

Mississippi River

Watch the landscape change from dry plains to lush greenery as you cross the nation's largest river system.

🏙️

Chicago Skyline

On clear days, the distant towers of downtown Chicago can often be seen across the southern curve of Lake Michigan.

The right side is ideal for spotting the Grand Canyon in the distance if the flight path tracks slightly south. Be aware that midday sun can be intense on this side of the aircraft. Keep an eye out for the distinct grid patterns of the Great Plains farming communities.
