South Platte River
The historic waterway that served as a guide for early pioneers, winding through the Nebraska and Colorado landscape.
Front Range Rockies
A massive wall of snow-capped mountains that appears suddenly as you approach the Colorado border.
High Plains Wind Farms
Expansive arrays of modern wind turbines spanning the rolling hills of eastern Colorado near Limon.
The right side is superior for mountain spotting. Longs Peak is the most prominent landmark to watch for. Morning flights provide the best lighting on the mountain faces, as the sun is positioned behind the aircraft, highlighting the snow-capped textures of the Rockies.
