Hoover Dam & Lake Mead
Visible immediately after departure, providing a spectacular view of the dam and the deep blue reservoir.
Grand Canyon North Rim
As the flight heads east, the vast expanse and colorful layers of the Grand Canyon are often visible to the south.
Midwestern Quilt
The geometric beauty of Kansas and Missouri farmland, characterized by circular center-pivot irrigation patterns.
St. Louis Gateway Arch
A sharp eye can spot the shimmering silver arch on the western bank of the Mississippi River during the cruise phase.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for the first 45 minutes of the flight. For the best view of the Grand Canyon, check your specific flight path on a tracker; most LAS-PIT routes pass just north of the canyon, making the right side essential. Use a polarized lens for photos to cut through atmospheric haze over the desert.

Vivid red Aztec sandstone formations located just northeast of Las Vegas shortly after takeoff.
Utah Canyonlands
Exceptional views of the rugged terrain near Zion National Park and the high plateaus of southern Utah.
Colorado Front Range
Dramatic transition from the high Rocky Mountains to the flat Great Plains near the Denver corridor.
Downtown Pittsburgh
Depending on the approach pattern into PIT, the 'Golden Triangle' and stadium district can be seen to the east.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. This side is superior for viewing the high-altitude transition over the Colorado Rockies. Watch for the Ohio River as you begin your descent into Pennsylvania.
