Search flights from LAS to GFK
Las Vegas Strip
Aerial views of the iconic resort corridor and the surrounding valley shortly after takeoff.
Zion National Park
Look for the deep canyons and massive sandstone monoliths characteristic of Southern Utah.
Flaming Gorge
The vivid green waters of the reservoir contrasted against the rugged red rock canyons.
Wind River Range
Jagged, snow-capped peaks and high-altitude wilderness regions of Western Wyoming.
Missouri River
The longest river in North America carving through the rolling terrain of the Great Plains.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid direct sunlight and get front-lit views of the Utah parks. Try to sit in front of the wing for the best photography angles of the canyonlands. Keep an eye out for the distinctive 'S' curves of the Missouri River as you enter the Dakotas.

A sprawling network of red-rock canyons filled with turquoise water in Glen Canyon.
Bighorn Mountains
A massive mountain uplift rising dramatically above the surrounding plains in Wyoming.
Black Hills

The right side is best during late afternoon flights for warm, golden light on the Bighorns and the Black Hills. On takeoff from LAS, look quickly for the Hoover Dam if the flight path departs toward the East. Use polarized sunglasses to better see the turquoise waters of the western reservoirs.
