Rocky Mountain Front Range
The stunning silhouette of the Rockies rising abruptly from the flat plains to the west.
Longs Peak
The distinctive flat-topped 14,259-foot peak visible in the distance within Rocky Mountain National Park.
Pawnee Buttes
Twin geological landmarks rising within the Pawnee National Grassland near the Colorado border.
Denver Skyline
A distant view of the Mile High City's skyscrapers backed by the mountains during the descent.
Colorado Landscapes
The transition from Nebraska's Sandhills to the rugged, high-altitude terrain of the Colorado plateau.
The right side is the clear winner for mountain views. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Front Range perfectly. Look out early for the Pawnee Buttes and keep your eyes on the horizon for the first glimpse of snow-capped peaks.

Agricultural Geometry
Vast stretches of center-pivot irrigation circles creating a quilt-like pattern across the Nebraska-Colorado border.

Cedar Creek Wind Farm
Clusters of hundreds of wind turbines rotating across the eastern Colorado plains.
Barr Lake
A prominent state park and reservoir visible just before the final approach into DEN.
