San Francisco Skyline
Iconic views of the Transamerica Pyramid and SalesForce Tower, with the Golden Gate Bridge often visible in the distance.
Mono Lake
The distinctive blue waters and tufa towers of this ancient saline lake on the eastern edge of the Sierras.
Grand Canyon
While distant, the massive scale of the canyon's north rim is frequently visible when the flight path takes a southerly track.
Meteor Crater
A nearly perfect circular impact site in the Arizona desert, best seen about 90 minutes into the flight.
Texas Panhandle
Geometric patterns of center-pivot irrigation fields creating a quilt-like landscape near the Oklahoma border.
Choose the right side for the most iconic landmarks. Be alert for Meteor Crater between Flagstaff and Winslow; it looks like a small bowl in the flat desert. In the afternoon, use your window shade to block the southern sun which can be intense at high altitudes on this route.

San Francisco Bay
Aerial perspective of the Port of Oakland, the Bay Bridge, and the Berkeley Hills immediately after takeoff.
Sierra Nevada Range
Dramatic views of the snow-capped peaks near the Yosemite wilderness and the Stanislaus National Forest.
Great Basin
The stark, repetitive basin-and-range topography across Nevada, featuring dry lake beds and isolated mountain ridges.
Downtown Oklahoma City
Clear views of the Devon Tower and the Bricktown district during the final approach into Will Rogers World Airport.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Watch closely 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the rugged granite peaks of the High Sierra. During the descent, the left side often aligns perfectly with the OKC city center depending on the wind direction.
