OLF → BIL
Which side of the plane to sit from L M Clayton Airport (Wolf Point) to Billings Logan International Airport (Billings)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point of the massive Fort Peck Lake and the dramatic badlands of the Missouri Breaks, plus a prime view of the Snowy Mountains on a clear day.
Fort Peck Lake
The massive, sprawling reservoir on the Missouri River, visible shortly after takeoff.
CMR National Wildlife Refuge
The rugged 'Missouri Breaks' landscape featuring deep coulees and dramatic erosion.
Big Snowy Mountains
The silhouette of the island mountain ranges rising abruptly from the plains to the west.
Musselshell River
A green ribbon of cottonwoods winding through the arid landscape near Roundup, MT.
The Rimrocks
Famous sandstone cliffs that border the north side of Billings, seen during the final turn.
The right side is essential for seeing Fort Peck Lake, the largest body of water in Montana. Choose this side for evening flights to catch the sunset silhouettes of the distant mountain ranges. Keep a sharp eye out for the Fort Peck Dam, one of the largest earth-fill dams in the world.
Missouri River
The meandering path of the Missouri River shortly after departure from Wolf Point.
Eastern Montana Plains
Vast stretches of high-altitude prairie and agricultural grids defining the Big Sky Country.
Dryland Farming
Unique geometric patterns of wheat strips and fallow land characteristic of Garfield County.
Billings Heights
The residential outskirts and suburban expansion of Montana's largest city during descent.
BNSF Railway
Follow the industrial veins of the region as the plane aligns for its final approach.
Sit on the left for softer, front-lit views if flying in the morning. This side is better for spotting the winding Yellowstone River valley as you enter the Billings area from the northeast.
