Stunning red sandstone cliffs and the Spring Mountains visible immediately after departing Las Vegas.
Great Salt Lake
The shimmering western expanse of the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere.
Sawtooth Mountains
The jagged, tooth-like peaks of central Idaho offer a rugged wilderness spectacle mid-flight.
Glacier National Park
Aerial views of the 'Crown of the Continent' featuring deep glacial u-shaped valleys and high peaks.
Canadian Rockies
An incredible close-up view of the snow-capped Alberta ranges as the plane begins its descent into Calgary.

Request a seat forward of the wing to capture unobstructed photos of the jagged peaks near the US-Canada border. In winter, the contrast of the white snow against the dark rock is breathtaking.
