Lake Mead
One of the largest reservoirs in the US, visible shortly after departing Las Vegas.
Zion & Bryce Canyon
A bird's-eye view of Utah's famous red rock canyons, hoodoos, and massive sandstone cliffs.
Canyonlands National Park
The intricate drainage patterns of the Green and Colorado Rivers carving through the desert floor.
Central Rockies
Dramatic views of Colorado's highest peaks, often snow-capped well into the summer months.
Mississippi River
A spectacular final approach view of the massive river defining the border between Iowa and Illinois.
The right side is the 'National Park' side. For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to capture the deep canyons of Utah. Keep your camera ready in the first 20 minutes for Lake Mead and the last 10 minutes for the Mississippi River.

Stunning red Aztec sandstone formations just northeast of Las Vegas shortly after takeoff.
Dixie National Forest
High altitude forest plateaus in Southern Utah providing a stark contrast to the surrounding desert.
Front Range Rockies
The northern edge of the Colorado Rockies including views toward Rocky Mountain National Park.
Nebraska Plains
The characteristic geometric patchwork of agricultural fields and center-pivot irrigation circles.
Des Moines Skyline
A clear view of Iowa's capital city and the Des Moines River as the flight enters the Midwest.
Sit on the left to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun on eastbound flights. This side is particularly scenic during the late afternoon as the 'golden hour' light emphasizes the textures of the Great Plains and the Colorado Front Range.
