OKC → DEN
Which side of the plane to sit from Will Rogers World Airport (Oklahoma City) to Denver International Airport (Denver)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic rise of the Rocky Mountains and Pikes Peak as you approach Denver from the southeast.
Redbed Plains
Distinctive reddish soil and geological formations visible across western Oklahoma shortly after takeoff.
Wind Farms
Massive arrays of wind turbines scattered across the Oklahoma Panhandle and the plains of Colorado.
Arkansas River
The winding, sandy path of this major waterway as it cuts through the arid High Plains landscape.
Pikes Peak
One of Colorado's most famous fourteeners, appearing as a massive granite sentinel on the horizon.
Colorado Springs
Distant views of the urban center and the Garden of the Gods area nestled against the foothills.
Sit on the left side for morning flights; the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for the mountain range. During the winter, the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Rockies are particularly striking against the brown plains.
Irrigation Circles
Vibrant green and golden geometric patterns created by center-pivot irrigation systems in Kansas and Colorado.
Cimarron River
The braided river channels and surrounding canyons visible as you cross the border into the High Plains.
Longs Peak
The northernmost fourteener in Colorado, visible on the distant horizon during the final approach.
DIA Terminal
Excellent views of the iconic white tent-like roof of the Denver International Airport terminal upon landing.
The right side is ideal for capturing the unique geometry of the American prairie. If landing to the north, you might catch a glimpse of the Denver city skyline and the football stadium just before touchdown.
