Sandia Mountains
Rugged limestone cliffs and peaks rising sharply east of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Meteor Crater
A nearly perfect circular impact site over 500 feet deep in the northern Arizona desert.
Sedona Red Rocks
Vibrant orange and red sandstone formations visible as the flight crosses into Arizona.
San Bernardino Mountains
Often snow-capped peaks including Mount San Gorgonio, the highest point in Southern California.
Downtown LA Skyline
The skyscrapers of the Financial District and the Hollywood Sign are often visible during the downwind leg of the approach.
The right side is unbeatable for landmarks. Look for the Meteor Crater about midway through the flight. During the descent into LAX, the flight often tracks north of the city, giving the right side a panoramic view of the Los Angeles basin, the Hollywood Hills, and the Getty Center. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the red rocks of Arizona.

Sonoran Desert Landscapes
Expansive views of the high desert terrain of Southern Arizona and the Gila National Forest.
Salton Sea
California's largest, landlocked lake appears as a deep blue mirror amidst the arid Coachella Valley.
San Jacinto Peak
The dramatic 10,834-foot granite peak that towers over the Palm Springs area.
Orange County Coastline
As the plane turns for final approach, catch glimpses of the Pacific coast and Newport Beach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. This side provides excellent views of the San Andreas Fault lines near the San Bernardino Mountains and the sprawling residential grids of the Inland Empire during the descent.
