Lake Minnetonka
A sprawling network of bays and islands located just west of the Minneapolis metro area, visible shortly after takeoff.
Glacial Lake Country
A dense concentration of deep blue glacial lakes dotting the landscape across central Minnesota, especially near Alexandria.
Devils Lake
The largest natural body of water in North Dakota, featuring a very unique and highly irregular shoreline caused by fluctuating water levels.
Red River Valley
Crossing the ancient bed of Glacial Lake Agassiz, known as one of the flattest geographic regions on the planet.
The right side is ideal for spotting the most significant geographic landmarks on this route. Keep a close watch for the massive expanse of Devils Lake approximately 20 minutes before landing. In winter, the thousands of frozen lakes create a stunning white patchwork across the landscape.

MSP Suburbs
Detailed views of the Twin Cities metropolitan area and its rolling terrain during the initial climb out of Minneapolis.
Minnesota Prairie
The distinct transition from the wooded lake regions to the structured, geometric agricultural grids of the western Midwest.
Missouri River Basin
On clear days, the distant southern horizon reveals the winding blue ribbon of the Missouri River valley.
Souris Valley
The meandering loops of the Souris River become prominent as the aircraft descends into the Minot area.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare from the southern sky. This side provides an excellent perspective on the vast agricultural patterns of the Great Plains, which are particularly vibrant in late summer before the harvest.
