OGD → AZA
Which side of the plane to sit from Ogden Hinckley Airport (Ogden) to Phoenix-Mesa-Gateway Airport (Mesa)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides are stunning, the right side provides a superior angle for the Grand Canyon's main gorge and the unique pink amphitheaters of Bryce Canyon during the southward descent.

Great Salt Lake
Views of Antelope Island and the reflective, salty waters immediately after takeoff from Ogden.
Kennecott Copper Mine
One of the largest man-made excavations in the world, appearing as a massive tiered bowl in the Oquirrh Mountains.
Bryce Canyon
High-altitude views of the 'Silent City' and thousands of orange and pink sandstone hoodoos.
Grand Canyon
The ultimate aerial view of the North and South Rims, revealing the incredible depth and scale of the Colorado River's work.
Sedona Red Rocks
Vibrant crimson formations like Cathedral Rock and the Mogollon Rim visible about 20 minutes before landing.
This side is unbeatable for late afternoon flights, as the setting sun illuminates the red rocks of the Grand Canyon and Sedona. The Grand Canyon usually appears approximately 45-55 minutes into the flight; ensure your window is clear and your camera is ready for the wide-angle perspective of the North Rim.

Wasatch Front
Immediate views of Mount Ogden and the rugged peaks of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest upon departure.
Capitol Reef
The Waterpocket Fold, a 100-mile long warp in the Earth's crust, creates a striking line of cliffs and canyons.
Lake Powell
Look for the deep blue waters and winding red sandstone fingers of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
San Francisco Peaks
The snow-capped Humphreys Peak, Arizona's highest point, stands prominently near the city of Flagstaff.
Tonto National Forest
Rugged, saguaro-dotted mountains and the Mazatzal Wilderness as the flight approaches the Phoenix valley.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinct geological 'fold' of Capitol Reef shortly after crossing into southern Utah. During winter, the contrast of snow on the San Francisco Peaks against the red desert is spectacular.
