Which side of the plane to sit from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (Phoenix) to Salt Lake City International Airport (Salt Lake City)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an elite sequence of geological wonders, including the vibrant red rocks of Sedona, the winding turquoise waters of Lake Powell, and a spectacular close-up of the snow-capped Wasatch Range upon arrival.
Sedona Red Rocks
Iconic crimson formations like Cathedral Rock and the deep green of Oak Creek Canyon.
Mogollon Rim
The dramatic 2,000-foot escarpment that marks the edge of the Colorado Plateau.
Lake Powell
The intricate, labyrinthine shoreline and bright blue water of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
Bryce Canyon
A glimpse of the high-altitude amphitheaters filled with thousands of red rock hoodoos.
Wasatch Range
Parallel views of the jagged peaks flanking the eastern edge of the Salt Lake Valley during descent.
A morning flight is superior for this side, as the rising sun perfectly lights up the Sedona red rocks and the cliffs of Lake Powell. During winter months, the contrast of the snow-covered Wasatch Range is the highlight of the trip, so keep your window shade up for the last 30 minutes of the flight.
Grand Canyon West
Spectacular views of the canyon's immense depth and the winding Colorado River far below.
Zion National Park
Towering Navajo Sandstone monoliths and deep slot canyons visible from a high altitude.
Sevier Lake
A dry endorheic lake that appears as a stark white salt crust against the brown desert landscape.
Great Salt Lake
The massive shimmering expanse of the lake with its distinct green and pink hue variations.
Choose an afternoon flight to see the Grand Canyon walls illuminated by the western sun. On the final approach into SLC, sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Great Salt Lake's unique salt-harvesting ponds and Antelope Island.
