Pacific Coastline
Sweeping views of the Orange County and San Diego coast during the initial climb and bank south.
Salton Sea
A massive, distinct saline lake in the California desert that creates a striking visual contrast.
Gulf of California
On clear days, see the northern tip of the Sea of Cortez where the Colorado River used to meet the sea.
Gran Desierto de Altar
Incredible views of the star-shaped sand dunes in one of the hottest regions in North America.
Sierra Madre Canyons
Deep, dramatic canyon systems similar to the Copper Canyon that define the rugged heart of western Mexico.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun moves behind the plane, illuminating the canyons of the Sierra Madre with golden light. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the arid Altar Desert to the lush, jagged peaks of the mountains.

San Bernardino Mountains
High peaks like Mount San Gorgonio visible shortly after the turn east from the Pacific coast.
Coachella Valley
The green patches of Palm Springs and the desert resort towns nestled against the San Jacinto mountains.
Colorado River
The winding blue ribbon of the Colorado River marking the border between California and Arizona.
Sonoran Desert
Expansive views of the rugged Sonoran landscape with unique volcanic craters in the Pinacate Reserve area.
Northern Sierra Madre
Dense high-altitude pine forests and steep ridges as the flight enters central Mexico.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side provides excellent views of the high desert plateaus and the transition from the U.S. to Mexico. Look for the Salton Sea reflecting the sky shortly after takeoff if the flight path stays north.
