Grand Canyon
The absolute highlight; look for the immense North and South Rims and the winding Colorado River.
San Francisco Peaks
The snow-capped summit of Humphreys Peak, Arizona's highest point, standing above Flagstaff.
Lake Powell
Intricate blue water channels snaking through the vibrant red rock canyons of Glen Canyon.
Wasatch Mountains
Rugged, alpine peaks towering over the Salt Lake City metropolitan corridor.
The Palouse
Stunning rolling wheat fields that look like green or gold velvet waves during the descent into Spokane.
For the best view of the Grand Canyon, ensure you are alert 15-25 minutes after departing Phoenix. Morning flights provide excellent illumination of the canyon walls without the haze of the afternoon. Request a seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't obstruct your view of the Idaho Sawtooth range mid-flight.
Book Hotels in SpokaneZion National Park
View the massive sandstone cliffs and deep canyons of southern Utah's most famous park.
Great Salt Lake
Observe the stark contrast of the turquoise water and salt flats of northern Utah.
Ruby Mountains
Look for the glaciated peaks of Nevada's 'Alps' rising sharply from the high desert floor.
Craters of the Moon
Spot the vast, dark basaltic lava flows and cinder cones in central Idaho's volcanic plains.
Hell's Canyon
The deepest river gorge in North America, visible along the Snake River on the border of Idaho and Oregon.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the unique 'checkerboard' landscape of the Columbia Plateau and the distant silhouettes of the Cascade volcanoes like Mt. Rainier on exceptionally clear days.
