LASPIA

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled sequence of Southwest icons, including immediate views of Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam, followed by the majestic expanse of the Grand Canyon and the San Juan Mountains.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌊

Hoover Dam & Lake Mead

Incredible aerial perspective of the engineering marvel and the deep blue reservoir right after takeoff.

🏜️

Grand Canyon

The north rim and the Marble Canyon sections offer deep, multi-colored geological scars.

⛰️

Monument Valley

The iconic red buttes and spires of the Navajo Nation visible on the horizon.

🏔️

San Juan Mountains

Some of the most rugged and snow-capped terrain in the Southern Colorado Rockies.

🏔️

Pikes Peak

The solitary 14,115-foot peak standing prominently near Colorado Springs.

🌾

Great Plains Patchwork

Mesmerizing geometric patterns of circular irrigation fields across Kansas and Missouri.

The right side is essential for the Hoover Dam view shortly after departure from LAS. Be prepared for high-contrast lighting; polarized sunglasses will help you see the depth of the Grand Canyon more clearly. Winter flights offer spectacular views of the snow-covered San Juan range.

Left Side Highlights

🏜️

Valley of Fire

Stunning red sandstone formations located just northeast of the Las Vegas valley.

🏔️

Zion National Park

The massive white and pink Navajo Sandstone cliffs of Southern Utah are clearly visible.

🏞️

Canyonlands

A vast wilderness of canyons and high plateaus carved by the Colorado River.

🏔️

Colorado Front Range

Dramatic transition from the high Rocky Mountain peaks to the flat Great Plains.

🏙️

Denver Metro

The sprawling cityscape of Denver and its surrounding suburbs visible to the north.

🌊

Mississippi River

The wide, winding border between Iowa and Illinois as you approach the Midwest.

Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Utah canyonlands in brilliant detail. For the best view of the transition from mountains to plains, sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion.
