Search flights from LIT to PHX
Ozark Plateau
The scenic highlands of Northwest Arkansas featuring deep valleys and hardwood forests.
Painted Desert
A vast landscape of badlands featuring stratified layers of red, orange, and lavender rock.
Meteor Crater
One of the world's best-preserved impact sites, appearing as a massive bowl in the desert crust.
Mogollon Rim
A massive 2,000-foot escarpment marking the edge of the Colorado Plateau in central Arizona.
Camelback Mountain
The iconic silhouette resembling a kneeling camel, marking your entry into the heart of Phoenix.
The right side is essential for spotting the Painted Desert and Meteor Crater. Aim for a late afternoon flight to see the low-angle sun accentuate the textures of the Mogollon Rim and create deep shadows that make the desert colors pop.

Ouachita National Forest
Rolling ridges and dense pine forests of Western Arkansas visible shortly after takeoff.
Red River Valley
Distinctive agricultural patterns and the winding border between Oklahoma and Texas.
El Malpais Lava Flows
Ancient, dark basaltic lava fields contrasting sharply against the New Mexico desert floor.
Superstition Mountains
Rugged volcanic peaks and jagged cliffs east of Phoenix during the final descent.
Salt River Basin
A ribbon of green riparian vegetation and water cutting through the arid Arizona landscape.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic views of the Superstition Mountains as the plane hooks into its final approach for Runway 25 or 26. For morning flights, this side is ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, reducing window glare while you photograph the desert floor.
