Search flights from PHX to BOI
Sedona Red Rocks
Vibrant crimson sandstone formations and deep canyons near the Mogollon Rim.
San Francisco Peaks
Arizona's highest mountains, often snow-capped, rising prominently near the city of Flagstaff.
Grand Canyon
A direct and breathtaking view of the central Grand Canyon National Park area shortly after departure.
Painted Desert
Striking multi-colored badlands that stretch toward the Four Corners region.
Snake River Plain
The fertile, volcanic agricultural landscape of Southern Idaho visible during the final descent into Boise.
For the most dramatic experience, book a morning flight to catch the rising sun illuminating the layers of the Grand Canyon and the red rocks of Sedona. Seat yourself behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the San Francisco Peaks. During the winter months, the snow-covered peaks of northern Arizona provide a stunning contrast against the red earth.

Sonoran Desert
Expansive vistas of the rugged desert floor and saguaro forests immediately north of Phoenix.
Lake Mead
A distant view of the massive reservoir on the Colorado River near the Nevada border.
Las Vegas Valley
On clear days, the distant skyline and surrounding mountains of the Las Vegas basin are visible.
Great Basin Wilderness
Vast stretches of basin and range topography across the high deserts of Nevada and Oregon.
Owyhee Canyonlands
Rugged, deep volcanic canyons in the remote border region of Oregon and Idaho.
The left side is preferable for late afternoon or evening flights to avoid direct sun glare while still enjoying the glowing desert horizon. Keep an eye out for the shimmering waters of the Colorado River system as you cross into Nevada. In winter, look for the stark contrast between the desert basins and the snow-dusted ridges of the Great Basin mountains.
