The stark beauty of the high desert, including dry lake beds and unique rock formations.
Mono Lake
The distinct circular saline lake known for its tufa towers and deep blue color.
Hells Canyon
The deep river gorges near the Oregon-Idaho border as you head toward the Inland Northwest.
The Palouse
The iconic rolling green or gold wheat hills just south of Spokane during the descent.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. For the best view of the Sierra Nevada, aim for a seat slightly behind the wing. In winter, the snow-covered mountains provide incredible photography opportunities. During the final descent into Spokane, look for the unique geological patterns of the Palouse hills.
