The right side is the definitive choice for this route. For the best photography of the Grand Canyon and Meteor Crater, sit behind the wing to avoid engine heat blur. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit landscapes with minimal window glare. Keep a lookout for Hoover Dam about 10-15 minutes before landing.
