Panoramic horizon views of Mt. Hood and Mt. Jefferson visible to the west throughout the first half of the trip.
Steens Mountain
A spectacular 30-mile long fault-block mountain that rises nearly a mile above the Alvord Desert.

The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh sun glare coming from the west. If the plane lands toward the west (a common pattern), the right side provides the most iconic view of the Las Vegas Strip and the Sphere immediately before touchdown. Look for the massive Alvord Desert playa in SE Oregon mid-flight.
