Hoover Dam
A clear perspective of the massive concrete structure and the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge.
Lake Mead
The deep blue waters of the reservoir contrasting against the stark desert landscape.
Grand Canyon North Rim
The intricate, multi-layered geological formations of the world's most famous canyon.
Lake Powell
Vibrant blue water snaking through red rock canyons near the Utah-Arizona border.
Pivot Irrigation Circles

Ozark Plateau

The right side is the 'scenic side' for the first hour. To avoid the glare of the southern sun on eastbound flights, a morning departure is ideal. Look out early for Lake Mead and the Grand Canyon; these appear quickly after takeoff. As you approach SGF, watch for the transition from flat plains to the forested hills of the Ozarks.
