LAS → YQR
Which side of the plane to sit from McCarran International Airport (Las Vegas) to Regina International Airport (Regina)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an immediate spectacle with Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam shortly after takeoff, followed by the vibrant red rocks of Southern Utah and a distant look at the Yellowstone ecosystem.
Lake Mead
The deep blue waters of the reservoir contrasted against the stark desert landscape just minutes after takeoff.
Valley of Fire
Stunning bright red Aztec sandstone formations visible shortly after leaving Las Vegas.
Wasatch Range
The towering mountain wall that defines the edge of the Great Salt Lake valley.
Yellowstone Region
Distant views of the high volcanic plateau and the expansive forests of America's first national park.
The Missouri River
The winding 'Big Muddy' as it cuts through the Montana badlands toward the plains.
Prepare your camera immediately after takeoff as the turn out of LAS usually provides a perfect angle of the Hoover Dam. Morning flights are ideal for this side, as the sun illuminates the red rocks of Utah and the Missouri River breaks with dramatic shadows.
Great Basin Desert
Vast stretches of Nevada's basin-and-range topography featuring isolated mountain islands.
Bitterroot Mountains
The rugged spine of the Rockies as you cross from Idaho into Western Montana.
Glacier National Park
Spectacular views of jagged peaks and turquoise alpine lakes near the US-Canada border.
Cypress Hills
An unusual high-altitude plateau and forest that survived the last ice age glaciation.
Sit on the left if you are on a late afternoon flight to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. This side provides the best views of the high-altitude glaciers and the rugged border mountains as you transition into the Canadian Prairies.
