Lake George
A stunning view of this 32-mile long narrow lake, often referred to as the Queen of American Lakes.
Saratoga Springs
Spot the historic Saratoga Race Course and the surrounding spa city during the descent into Albany.
For morning flights, sit on the left to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun while enjoying the best mountain views. This side is particularly spectacular during the fall foliage season (late September to mid-October) when the Adirondack slopes turn vibrant red and orange.
