Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior viewing experience, featuring iconic landmarks like the Hoover Dam and the dramatic vertical relief of the Wasatch Range during the descent into Salt Lake City.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌲

San Bernardino Mountains

Views of Mount San Gorgonio, the highest peak in Southern California, shortly after takeoff.

💧

Lake Mead & Hoover Dam

The massive reservoir and the historic dam are frequently visible as the flight crosses into Nevada/Arizona.

🏜️

Zion National Park Region

Distinguished red rock formations and deep canyons characteristic of the Southern Utah wilderness.

🏔️

Wasatch Range

Jagged, snow-capped mountains that provide a stunning backdrop as the plane enters the Salt Lake Valley.

Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the red rocks of Utah and the Wasatch peaks. The Hoover Dam appears approximately 35 to 45 minutes after departure; keep a close watch on the horizon to spot the blue waters of Lake Mead.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

San Gabriel Mountains

Sharp, rugged peaks rising immediately north of the Ontario basin during the initial ascent.

🎰

Las Vegas Strip

A birds-eye view of the world-famous resort corridor and the surrounding Mojave Desert landscape.

🧂

Great Salt Lake

The vast, shimmering expanse of the lake, often showing distinct color variations due to salinity levels.

For night flights, the left side is essential for seeing the brilliant lights of the Las Vegas Strip. Sit forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Great Salt Lake during the final approach patterns into SLC.
